The [[British Association for Cemeteries in South Asia|'''BACSA Archive''']] at the '''[[British Library]]''', shelfmark '''Mss Eur F370''' includes entries in its catalogue under Cemetery Files . The Notes advise: 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. If a particular cemetery is not in the list, some details of it may sometimes be found in the general file for the province or town in which it is situated.
The BACSA British Library archive catalogue is now available online at the BACSA website. Under the category Cemetery Files and Registers, [http://bacsa.frontisgroup.com/bin/aps_browse_sources.php?mode=list_sourcesbrowse_components&source_classid=133&s_id=211 West Bengal] references at the British Library may be found for the cemeteries at Calcutta and surrounding areas.
