    Building an Institutional Repository has twin objectives. It servers as a digital archive of the total research output created by the academic community of an institute. It makes freely accessible over the internet this intellectual output to all those who are interested in it, thereby promoting the knowledge development. TIFR too is therefore planning to build its Institutional Repository and as a prelude to this has undertaken a pilot project. This paper discusses some of the details of this initiative.
