The '''''K. L. Nursey album''''', or the '''Collections of Photographs of Old Congress Party: KL Nursey''', is a compilation of documentary photographs captured by an anonymous person. It contains 245 black-and-white photographs that cover the [[Civil Disobedience Movement]] of India. The album offers evidence that the movement involved counts of ordinary citizens, mostly women, of the then [[Bombay]], who acted out of their own accord through an organization called [[Desh Sevika Sangh]] and not entirely through [[Mahatma Gandhi]]'s prod.<ref name="auto">{{cite web |title=Bombay’s other rebels |url=https://mumbaimirror.indiatimes.com/unwind/bombays-other-rebels/articleshow/124196139.html |website=Mumbai Mirror |language=en}}</ref> The album is currently with the Alkazi Foundation for the Arts (AFA).<ref>{{cite web |title=Through an unknown lens: A new visual project at CSMVS revisits Mumbai’s role in India’s freedom struggle |url=https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai-guide/things-to-do/article/through-an-unknown-lens-a-new-visual-project-at-csmvs-revisits-mumbais-role-in-indias-freedom-struggle-23598559 |website=Mid-day |language=en |date=14 October 2025}}</ref><br />
