On May 29, 2023 IIMA Archives and the Gujarat State Archives (GSA) launched an online exhibition, Maritime Trade of Gujarat's Princely States: Nawanagar and Porbandar (https://archives.iima.ac.in/exhibitions/Maritime-Trade-Of-Gujarats-Princely_States.html). The exhibits were drawn from the Jamnagar and Porbandar offices of GSA. GSA has four other offices at Vadodara, Junagadh, Bhavnagar and Rajkot cities of Gujarat, and a head office at the state capital Gandhinagar. Though GSA was formally established only in December 1971, some of its units have a long history. The Vadodara office was established in 1879; the Rajkot office has been in existence since 1857, and the Junagadh unit was set up between 1840-45 during the time of Nawab Hamid Khan Babi II (r. 1840-1858).
