==History==
The '''Goa Gazetteer''' was founded in 1970, which was nine years after Goa became part of India, nine years following [[Annexation of Goa|Goa's annexation]] in 1961. In 2023, it was renamed the '''Department of Goa Gazetteer and Historical Records'''. The inaugural edition of the [[gazette]] was published in 1979 and was subsequently reprinted in 2009, thirty years after its original release. As of June 2023, there are no announced plans for a new edition.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Department Of Goa Gazetteer And Historical Records {{!}} Government of Goa |url=https://www.goa.gov.in/department/goa-gazetteer/ |access-date=2025-06-17 |website=Government of Goa {{!}} Official Portal}}</ref>

==Reception==
This book was published less than two decades after [[Portuguese India|Portuguese rule]] ended. This probably gets reflected in the attempt to be extra-critical of Portuguese rule, while play-up the positive changes brought in post-1961.{{cn|date=June 2025}}
