The [[British Association for Cemeteries in South Asia|BACSA Archive]] at the [[British Library]], shelfmark Mss Eur F370 includes the following entries in its catalogue under Cemetery Files, Nos 1-853Notes: The arrangement of this list and the names of provinces, places and cemeteries are based on the list which BACSA took over in 1976 from the British High Commission in India. The cemetery status (i.e. whether open or closed) is based on the information to hand, and may since have changed.
