Bengal, Past and Present, Journal of the Calcutta Historical Society

This page is an attachment to Newspapers and journals online.

Bengal, Past and Present, Journal of the Calcutta Historical Society was first published 1907 and is a very valuable source of information.

There are published indexes, each of one volume, as follows: Volumes 1 (July 1907)-8 (June 1914); Volumes 9 (1914)-18 (1919); Volumes 1 (1907)-85 (1966); Volumes 1 (1907)-104 (1985). In addition, the British Library has an index for Volumes 19-29. Unfortunately, none of these appear to be available online.

Note that a different Journal, with a somewhat similar name, is the Calcutta Historical Journal, published by the University of Calcutta, first published July 1976,
