The album contains photos of Prof B.V. Sreekanran in his welcome address on several exciting frontier areas of particle physics at energy scales not realizable in terrestrial accelerators and their significance in astrophysics and cosmology. The photos include famous astrophysicists around the world like Angom DKS, Bhattacharyya J.C., Krishnakumar V., etc., who discussed physics beyond the standard model, violations of discrete symmetries, neutrino physics, neutrino astronomy, experimental detection of dark matter, gravitation and feebler new forces, cosmic rays, etc. Some highlights are the latest results from the Kamiokande neutrino detector and status reports on experimental facilities under commission to detect solar and atmospheric neutrinos, WIMP's and dark matter candidates.

Indian Institute of AstrophysicsThe album contains photos of the buildings and events at Kodaikanal Solar Observatory in Tamil Nadu, India. The observatory was established in 1899 as a Solar Physics Observatory, and all the activities of the Madras Observatory were shifted to Kodaikanal. Firstly a few photos of this album are of telescope domes and buildings, particularly North and South domes and 6-inch and 8-inch telescope buildings. After that, several photos of the pump house near the administrative building for the well and administrative section of the old radio astronomy building are arranged. Photos of the second national solar physics workshop on 29th September 1987 are followed by photographs of the rear side of the spectrobuilding and road from the specrto tunnel towards the library. Photos of the solar tower taken in 1980, huts near the I and M building, and front, back, and side views of H alpha and Ca K spectrohelio graphs are arranged in the middle of the album. In addition to that, photos of the solar tower tunnel, library building, and Bhavanagar dome can be seen in the album.
Indian Institute of AstrophysicsThe album contains photographs of delegates, talks, exhibitions, etc., related to the National Workshop on Preservation Our Scientific Heritage held on January 20-22, 2008, in IIA Bangalore. The program was for two days and focussed on preserving the history of scientific organizations in the country. Eminent personalities of institutes from different parts of India presented their papers, and more than 100 participants participated in the workshop.
Indian Institute of AstrophysicsThe album consisted of nearly 200 photographs from the National Workshop on Preservation Our Scientific Heritage held on January 21-22, 2008. The album includes photos of the delegates,IIA archives, events, presentations etc.
Indian Institute of AstrophysicsThe album consists of photos of the pooja celebration and the inauguration of the IIA canteen building in Bangalore. The then Director, Prof. S. S. Hasan, inaugurated the canteen.
The album contains photos taken during the visit of Prof. D. Sugimoto of the University of Tokyo in 1997 as a part of the India-Japan collaborative research program. It includes photographs of the presentation by Prof. D. Sugimoto and handing over the board to be installed in the GRAPE system, a parallel computing machine dedicated to galaxy simulations, to director R. Cowsik.
