INTRODUCTION
Are you interested to know about the industrial Tata Group? We will suggest you go through this Tata Central Archives. You may find it more interesting.

This museum traces the history of the Tata Group, highlighting its key milestones, growth, and contribution to the development of industry in India.
Created in order to convey the legacy of the Tata Group through various media, the Tata Central Archives was created by Jehangir Ratanji Dadabhoy Tata in January 1991. The museum was inaugurated by Ratan Tata on February 13, 2001.

Multimedia
The multimedia section has a collection of more than 200 audio and video recordings of various Tata companies, institutions, and personalities. An important part of this section is a collection of speeches by stalwarts like J.R.D. Tata, Dr J.J. Bhabha, and Nani Palkhiwala, among others. As many of these recordings are very old and fragile, the Tata Central Archives has a very strict set of rules for its use.
