Within the walls of the state archives department is a treasure trove of archival documents comprising, among other things, correspondence between Goa and its neighbouring sovereigns like the Sunda kings, Sawants of Sawantwadi, Kolhapur kings, Peshwas, Hyder Ali, etc. However, scripted as they are in an alphabet no longer in circulation, the content of these texts has for long remained beyond the understanding of the state's historians.
