Aditya Arya Archive is one of the earliest photographic archives in India, engaged in the digitizing, documentation, annotation, restoration and preservation of photographic material of archival significance in India.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Aditya Arya Archive )〕 Aditya Arya Archive is led by Aditya Arya,〔 who is an eminent commercial photographer. ==History== The Aditya Arya Archive began with the historical collection of photojournalist Kulwant Roy, presented to Aditya Arya.〔 Roy (1914-1984) was among the handful of photojournalists in India who documented the eventful years immediately before and after independence. He was a close friend of the Arya family and left his surviving photographic negatives and prints to Aditya Arya. These prints and negatives remained forgotten in boxes for nearly 23 years after his death, until their inheritor Aditya Arya, began restoring and cataloguing them. The archive included many unpublished pictures of national leaders and events of the Indian pre and post-independence era and were brought to the public domain after the establishment of the Aditya Arya Archive. One of the outcomes of the unearthing and restoration process of the archive was that many images from the last years of British rule and the early decades after India’s independence, which were reprinted over the decades and credited to random journalists, turned out to be Roy’s work and have now been duly acknowledged. One of many such images is the iconic 1939 photograph of Mohandas K. Gandhi and Ali Jinnah in a heated argument, which has now been credited to Roy by Getty Images.〔 Many historians believe that the archive may shed light on the key moments in India’s independence movement.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aditya Arya Archive」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
