From now on rare documents on the 1971 Liberation War can be downloaded free of charge from an e-archive that was launched yesterday. 

The archive named "Muktijuddha E-Archive" was launched by Muktijoddho E-Archive Trust, a digital public library and archive research organisation for the war, in a programme held at the capital's Jatiya Press Club.

The website (liberationwarbangladesh) has eight categories for books, newspapers, audios, videos and photos related to the war.

As no registration is required to get access to the documents, anyone can download them.

Imran H Sarker, spokesperson of faction of Gonojagoron Manch, and Dr Nuzhat Chowdhury, daughter of martyred intellectual Dr Alim Chowdhury, were present in the programme, among others.

Since its inception in 2007 with the name "Bangladesh Muktijoddho Pathagar O Gobesona Kendra" the E-Archive Trust has been collecting documents from different sources.

In March this year, the organisation was renamed "Muktijoddho E-Archive Trust".
