Please write either to the Consultant Director of Research, Publications & Exhibitions (dir.research@royaljaipur.in) or to the Consultant Director of Library & Archives (dir.archives@royaljaipur.in) with the details of your request.

Before sending any enquiry, please note the following conditions:

• The computer databases of the Museum and Library collections are not available on-line. As per the Trust policies, they may be consulted by visiting scholars with the assistance of curatorial staff in the Museum. The published catalogues are of course available anywhere.
