Cemetery Records

logoWeb02


		The BACSA Archive The BACSA Archive contains folders on the majority of the European cemeteries in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and some information on European cemeteries in places ranging from the Middle East to Afghanistan, Indonesia, Malaysia and China. They are housed in the British Library, 96 Euston Road, London NW1 2DB, and the catalogue is available on-line in the private papers section (shelf mark Mss Eur F370). The folders themselves are open to the public in the Oriental and India Office Collection reading room at the library. Sadly BACSA is unable undertake unpaid research for people wanting information about a particular cemetery, although we can provide a list of professional researchers. The records need to be continually updated to reflect the current state of the cemeteries, and we rely on volunteer effort for this. Therefore If you are traveling in South Asia and likely to visit European cemeteries, we’d be grateful if you could download our Travellers & Tourists Form, and return it to us completed in order to contribute to the effort. Published Sources The list below shows those books and booklets on records, monumental inscriptions (MIs) and biographical details which have been produced by BACSA and are on available for purchase.
