The Indian Historical Records Commission, since its inception in 1919, has played a key role in generating consciousness about the value and importance of archives. The Commission was re-designated as the Indian Historical Records Committee in the year 2011. It was set up by the Government of India as a consultative body to offer advice on matters connected with the scientific and systematic management of records and their use for historical research. Some of its leading torch-bearers were Jadunath Sarkar, R.C. Majumdar, Shafaat Ahmad Khan, Mohammad Habib, Mohibbul Hasan, Mahdi Hussain, Parmatma Saran, Rai Bahadur A.F.M. Adul Ali, Amales Tripathi, Rev. W.K. Firminger.
