About the Jinnah Archive

The Jinnah Archive has been created to honour the memory of Quaid-i-Azam M. A. Jinnah, founder of Pakistan. It has been launched in August 2007 to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the establishment of India and Pakistan as free independent states following the end of British rule.

The Jinnah Archive is the world’s first comprehensive digital archive of Jinnah’s speeches and statements. All the available collections of Quaid-i-Azam’s speeches are scattered throughout various volumes but never have they been assembled in one place for easy public access. In the long-term the Archive will provide not only the transcripts of his speeches, correspondence and interviews, but will also include images and other media in order to further enhance the available content. In addition all speeches will eventually be fully annotated and, wherever necessary, include corresponding appendices for the benefit of researchers and all other interested persons.

The Jinnah Archive is a non-profit and non-partisan organisation. It serves as a research facility for academics and an educational portal for the general public, particularly young Pakistanis both in the East and the West, many of whom have little idea of the extraordinary life of Quaid-i-Azam and the Pakistan movement he led.
