> Hello,
>
> Over the last 2 years I have been working on a documentary film
> about the history of the anglo-indian community. In 2010 I visited
> multiple locations in 9 countries interviewing people and have
> interviewed almost 60 people to date. In 2011 over 2 trips I spent
> roughly 8 months in India traveling to over 30 locations filming
> material. By November 2011, I edited a draft script of the film and
> sent it out for feedback to some people. Based on the feedback, I am
> currently re-writing some bits and hope to have a final edited
> version ready by the middle of March 2012. After that, it's the
> final post production process...
>
> Delving into the history of the community going back to the year
> 1498 has been more challenging than anticipated, not only in finding
> the material, but in gaining access to it. One of my biggest
> challenges is getting access to visual material to use in my film
> and this is where I hope you can help me.
>
> I am looking for old photographs, documents, anything you may have,
> preferably relating to the years before 1947...eg: photos of people
> at work in uniform (army, air force, nurses, railway men) ,
> documents such as marriage or birth certificates, newspapers
> headlines or cuttings...photos of medals received or citations for
> service, photos of people at dance parties at railway institutes or
> the Clubs...or at picnics etc...or photos of people leaving on ships
> during their migration...anything related to the lives of anglo-
> indians.
>
> If you do have any of these materials and would like to share it
> with me to use in my film, please email them to me giving me your
> express permission to use in my documentary film..."End of the Raaj
> - a history of anglo-indians". If I do use any material in the
> final version, due credit will be given and your name will be
> featured in the "Archive" list at the end of the film.

> Please circle this email to others in your list of contacts or
> anyone who may be interested. I look forward to your support and
> wish you a fantastic year ahead.
