Grade 6 students at MET Rishikul Vidyalaya visited Godrej Archives, Vikhroli, as part of their Humanities and English Literature learning experience.
The visit provided students with an opportunity to explore historical documents, photographs and archival materials, helping them understand how primary sources preserve memories and provide evidence for understanding the past.
Through this interactive experience, students connected concepts from their classroom learning with real-world historical evidence. They explored how history is recorded, interpreted and preserved, while developing a deeper appreciation for the role of archives in documenting stories and experiences.
The visit also encouraged students to reflect on the importance of preserving cultural heritage and safeguarding historical records for future generations.
The experience offered a meaningful extension of classroom learning, encouraging curiosity, inquiry and a greater understanding of how the past can be explored through authentic historical sources.
