ARCHIVES’ DISPLAY CENTRE
INAUGURATED AT AITCHISON COLLEGE
On Monday 13th November, 2017, the newly established Archives’ Display Centre was officially inaugu-
rated at the Aitchison College Mandir which has been sensitively utilized and returned to its former glory.
In his inaugural speech, College Principal Mr. Michael Thomson emphasized the importance of an
Archives’ Centre to preserve the rich past of an historical institution like Aitchison College. Old Aitchiso-
nian and College patron Syed Babar Ali also spoke on the occasion. He appreciated the Principal and the
College Archivist for setting up the new Archives’ Centre and spoke about Aitchison College being a very
important place in the subcontinent, accumulating history of various decades in its journey.
The inaugural exhibition showcased some of the earliest pieces of the College’s history from 1886 to
1953. The selected pieces provided a glimpse into life at Aitchison College before and after the 1947
Partition.
Senior College Staff as well as several Old Aitchisonians including Mr. Awais Leghari, Syed Mohammad
Mohsin, Mr. Kamil Khan Mumtaz and President ACOBA Mr. Shah Jahan Ayub attended the event. The
Old Boys took great delight in seeing old documents and photographs from their time at Aitchison
College as they were engulfed with a strong sense of nostalgia.
The Archives Centre has been established to preserve, conserve and exhibit invaluable historical narra-
tives and artefacts that reflect the rich past of Aitchison College. Aitchison’s Archives Centre, now a
permanent feature of the College, will serve as a beacon of guidance and knowledge for years to come.
