English abstract

Salt Lake was developed as a township in the eastern fringe of Kolkata through reclamation of parts of the vast marshlands. In 2021, the Institute of Development Studies Kolkata started the initiative of archiving Salt Lake city to commemorate 50 years of the township in 2022. The process began by tracing the origin of Salt Lake in old books, archival records, newspapers, assembly debates, census data and interviews of early residents, workers, planners etc. This report provides a clear, informative and concise account of the Salt Lake Archives.
