Volunteers have painstakingly reconstructed the history of the Miss Nagaland pageant, though the contest's organisers have not provided any old records or photographs or given any archival help. Indpaedia believes the pageant is an important part of Nagaland’s popular culture. The winners of 1989 are the mothers of potential contestants today. If you feel that these memories need to be preserved on the Web, you can update or correct this article, and/ or send the names/ dignified biographical details/ photographs of any of the finalists, related to their lives before, during or after this contest, to the Facebook page, Indpaedia.com. All information used will be duly acknowledged.
