The IIMA Archives is open to visitors on all working days from 9.30 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. The Communication Department brings IIMA's executive education program participants for a tour of the 'Brick by Brick' exhibition. During the last three months, the Archives has had more than 400 visitors.

IIMA Archives also responds to requests for IIMA archival records. During the last quarter, there have been more than 30 such requests from research scholars. Here is an interesting note from one of the users: "My name is Douglas Haynes. I am the son of Warren Haynes, who was at IIM Ahmedabad in 1963-5 (he was a representative of the Harvard Business School). I later became a historian of India, and have written books on the history of Surat, on small-scale producers and on advertising in Western India before 1940. Some years ago, I became convinced that the impact of the IIMs was a terribly understudied subject in Indian history; so I decided to return to Ahmedabad and begin a project on the history of IIMA and the role of its early alums (pre-1980) in Indian business and society. I have already done lot of work in the Archives (recently doing research on the yearbooks) but I am now increasingly focusing on what alums did after leaving the institute. If you had an association with IIM before 1980 of any sort, I would love to hear from you at Douglas.E.Haynes@dartmouth.edu." Prof. Douglas E. Haynes, Professor of History, Dartmouth College, USA.

The IIMA Archives continues to add to its collection of records related to IIMA. It also participates in current events on campus by contributing relevant material. For instance, for the sports complex on the New Campus that was inaugurated on September 8, 2022, IIMA Archives contributed two panels on sports on the campus in the first three decades of the institute. The Archives also contributed a panel on Professor Kamla Chowdhry (1920-2006) to 'Kamla Cafe' that was inaugurated on August 17, 2022. The cafe, the latest in the 'Kamla' series of cafes run by SEWA (Self-Employed Women's Association) Ahmedabad, is named after Prof. Chowdhry, IIMA's first faculty member, who was closely associated with SEWA for many decades.
