The Mukti Documentation Centre (Doc Centre) houses the National Trust’s collection of books, documents, reports, manuscripts, newspapers, photographs, maps, videos, and tapes. 

This collection contributes to the National Trust’s custodial work of preserving and promoting our natural environment, historical and cultural heritage (our traditions, customs, music, visual and performing arts, our monuments, buildings and historic sites).

The ‘Doc Centre’, unlike a library, has both published and unpublished material and is often referred to as the “engine of the National Trust” as it drives almost every aspect of the National Trust’s work.

This rich cultural resource is available to members of the National Trust and others involved in research, school based assignments, consultants working on private sector projects, etc.
