This issue is the fourth and final issue of the first volume of our Newsletter. As we move into the second year of the newsletter, we thank all those who have helped in its production; we also thank our readers for the positive feedback we have received. How did management in agriculture become part of the Institute's mandate? What was the genesis of computer networking at IIMA? How did IIMA's private pedestrian underpass come about? What is the story behind IIMA's first doctoral offering? Which club has tried to educate underprivileged children living around IIMA? This issue has answers to these questions. As part of our efforts to network with other heritage-related organizations, we feature the Gujarat State Archives (GSA). We hope you enjoy reading this issue. We collaborated with the Gujarat State Archives to launch a digital exhibition and an accompanying monograph on 'Maritime Trade of Gujarat's Princely States: Nawanagar and Porbandar', on May 29, 2023. Prof. Vijaya Sherry Chand completed his three-year term (2020-23) as Chairperson of IIMA Archives and retired from the services of the Institute in May 2023. We welcome the new Dean (Alumni & External Relations), Prof. Sunil Maheshwari as a member of the IIMA Archives Committee. The next Chairperson of the IIMA Archives and the faculty member on the Committee will be announced soon. The Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA) was founded in 1961 and has emerged as a world-class management education institute. The IIMA Archives was established in November 2017 to preserve institutional and architectural memory, and periodically disseminate historical information about the institute to the IIMA community and the general public. The IIMA Archives aims to strengthen IIMA's brand and identity through a digital connect with the stakeholders of IIMA that focuses on the history and legacy of the Institute. In the long run, it hopes to become a Business History Research Hub, a small beginning towards which was made with documents and directories related to Indian business history.
