About SAALG
The South Asia Library Group was formed in 1967 and in 2001 changed its name to South Asia Archive and Library Group to acknowledge the presence of a number of archivists amongst its members. It consists of representatives of libraries, archives and other institutions in the United Kingdom with some degree of specialisation in South Asian Studies.
The aims of the Group are concerned with the acquisition and use of books, manuscripts and archival materials in the field of South Asian Studies, co-operative bibliographical projects and other matters which can be served by common consultation. The Group meets twice annually.
