It has archival photographs of the key moments of Vajpayee's life.
Another highlight of the webpage is films made by Films Division and Doordarshan on Vajpayee. The webpage also provides video links to many key speeches of the former PM.
On the Audio front, the page carries 'Kaljayi Swar Sampada,' a comprehensive collection of Vajpayee's representative moments including his poetry, prepared by All India Radio.
Lauding the webpage, Information and Broadcasting Secretary Bimal Julka said efforts like this are steps towards making people aware of the accomplishments of Vajpayee and hoped that general public, researchers and media persons will find the page a valuable resource.
