The Mission for Indian History and Archaeology was organized by the University of Tokyo as a comprehensive survey of Islamic architecture extant in Delhi from the Delhi Sultanate (early 13th century - mid-16th century). The onsite survey was carried out in two phases from 1959 to 1960, and 1961-1962 and encompassed key Islamic buildings in the Bengal, Deccan, and Gujarat provinces. The digitized collection offers a unique lens into a collection of 750 monuments varying from mosques, tombs, graveyards, waterbodies and other monuments that have since been demolished, altered, or subsumed into the urban landscapes. This extensive documentation includes a remarkable repository of over 40,000 artefacts including - photographs, drawings, field notes, and inscription tracings offering a detailed account of medieval Islamic architecture in India.  The pilot uploads of a selection of 20 Delhi Sultanate monuments was published on 14 January 2025, with more material to be added throughout the coming year.
