DIGITIZING  CED  CLIPPINGS

After a lot of struggle, CED has managed to get a small grant from SRTT, for digitization of the old archives. The grant cannot cover the entire archives, and in any case that would be a massive exercise. In order to supplement the effort, we need vounteers who can help us make selections from our files, or help CED do the scanning and database work. Write to malvika@doccentre.net

CED (Mumbai) in collaboration with Initiatives organised a screening of the acclaimed documentary 'War and Peace' directed by Anand Patwardhan on the 20th of December at our Mumbai center.
