In a significant cultural initiative, the Indian government has digitized 7,000 historical documents of the Indian diaspora in Oman. These documents, dating from 1838 to the early 20th century, include personal diaries, account books, trade invoices, passports, and letters. The oldest digitized document dates back to 1838. This project, titled 'The Oman Collection: Archival Heritage of the Indian Diaspora,' was a collaborative effort between the Indian Embassy in Muscat and the National Archives of India. The documents are in English, Arabic, Gujarati, and Hindi, providing a fascinating glimpse into the lives of early Indian settlers in Oman. This first-of-its-kind overseas digitization project aims to strengthen the historic ties between India and Oman by preserving the rich heritage of the Indian diaspora. This historic move digitally archives over 250 years of Indian diaspora heritage.
