Detail of the activity at the NAI a. Shri S. Balasubramaniam talked to the students about the meaning and methods of conservation and restoration of documents at the NAI. This talk was conducted at the conservation laboratory where the students could walk up to the technical equipments like air compressor, vacuum fumigation chamber, de-acidification plant etc. and observe the conservationists at work. b. A visit to the reprographic section introduced the participants to diverse ways in which document may be preserved and reproduced using microfilming, photo copying & digitalization techniques. Assessment The introductory sessions at the NAI were extremely informative for students who viewed and physically handled documents which are the material bases for writing history. They were introduced to various techniques used in conserving, restoring and preserving documents. The possibility of doing further studies and research in history has inspired some students; while some others may like to take up archiving as a profession. I would like to recommend a regular interaction for our students with the National Archives. This activity is appropriate for the final semester students of History Honours who would be keen to interact with the NAI with the purpose of developing vocational skills immediately after graduating from College. The NAI prefers history students as archives have an immediate relevance through their discipline.
