Our History

Where History Meets Modernity

Indo-Islamic cultural heritage

“Hast in muhr bar Kutub Khana : Waali-i-Rampur farzana.” in A.H 1268 (1851-1852 A.D) It means ” This is the seal of the library: by the wise ruler (Nawab) of Rampur.”

Nawab Faizullah Khan, who ruled Rampur from 1774 to 1794, established the library from his personal collection of ancient manuscripts and miniature specimens of Islamic calligraphy in 1774. Succeeding Nawabs were patrons of scholars, poets, painters, calligraphers and musicians, so the library grew rapidly.

Rampur Raza Library is a treasure trove of rare manuscripts and historical documents. As a historian, I have found invaluable primary sources here that have greatly enriched my research on Mughal history.

The Rampur Raza Library is one of the finest libraries I’ve ever encountered in India. Its vast collection of Islamic manuscripts is unparalleled, and the atmosphere of quietude is perfect for deep study and reflection.

The commitment of Rampur Raza Library to the preservation of ancient manuscripts is something I deeply admire. As an archivist, I’ve seen firsthand how well they care for and maintain these priceless documents.
