Description (What the record is about)
-
The series contains the serial publications of the Archaeological Survey of India. There are three main series. The ''Reports'' are personal descriptions of the archaeological tours carried out by General Alexander Cunningham, the first Director-General of the Archaeological Survey, and his assistants in particular areas of interest in northern India. The ''New Imperial Series'', begun by Dr James Burgess when Archaeological Surveyor of Western India, consists of substantial scholarly monographs which were intended, like Cunningham's reports, to be exhaustive on a limited number of subjects. The ''Memoirs'' include both briefer monographs and accounts of the results of current work which from 1902 to 1916 were published in Part 2 of the Archaeological Survey's annual report.
