I don't know if all the main offices of the Archaeological Survey of
India have a library, but that in Agra certainly does. It has an
extraordinary collection of books, and the librarian is extremely
helpful (though things go better if you speak Hindi). It is almost
impossible to describe the range of the books held, and the index of
same is, what shall I say? - not too helpful. But it is well worth a
visit, and I have spent many happy weeks there.
