A Network of Networks: The Archives at NCBS
The Archives at NCBS are a public centre for the history of science in contemporary India based at the National Centre for Biological Sciences.
During my bangaloREsidency 2024, I had the pleasure of spending seven weeks among brilliant archivists to search for the traces of telegraphy in the Archives’ collections. The many archived telegrams unraveled as a colourful sprawl of logos, shapes and stamps. On the next page, you can enlarge and search through these artefacts to find interviews and videos that discuss the echoes of telegraphy in today’s digital landscapes.
