Persian documents

  • 2 catalogues, one listed alphabetically (in print), another listed by date (hand written)

  • I am checking the one alphabetically.

    • image
  • Sample photo of the handwritten catalogue, this is the photograph of the first page

    • image
  • Approx 270 pages, I checked the first 50 for any relevant documents.

  • Photos not allowed but I took some of them secretly.

Criteria for the search

  • Near page 70, there comes a section named "Jagirs" which I will check later in my next visit.
  • Besides that I am focusing only for Jammu and Kashmir Provinces, any document which has connection of land owning or trader class.
