Ashru Archive

Ashru Archive is a non-profit research and resource organization located in Kushtia, Bangladesh. It was established on March 6, 2016 by the family and friends of the late poet and social worker Sahida Musa Ashru (1933-2015) to commemorate her luminous spirit. 

The primary objective of Ashru Archive is to facilitate the collection, preservation, publication and promotion of multidisciplinary resources and materials, and make them available for scholarly research, artistic and community engagement. This includes written and printed as well as audio-visual material (Books, Journals, Maps, Documents, Prints, Photographs, Letters, Audio and Visual recordings etc.)  The larger aim is to play the role of a resource center for scholars, researchers, readers, artists and members of the community who have serious interest in the socio-economic, political, and cultural history of the greater Kushtia region as well as that of the country.
