The palm-leaf manuscripts have admin, revenue documents dating back 120-200 yrs
ROUND 200-year-old records have been missing from state archives for the past 14 years. And, nobody seems to have a clue where they may be!
According to former archivists and researchers, certain palm-leaf manuscripts, including 15 'churunas,' and several single-leaf pamphlets that had been moved to the Chalakudy Heritage Centre from the Regional Archives in Ernakulam in 2010 were first recorded as missing in 2021. These were allegedly shifted from the Chalakudy centre in 2010 itself. The 'missing' palm-leaf manuscripts contain administrative and revenue documents of Thrissur and nearby regions dating back 120 to 200 years.
