1947 Partition Archive

About the 1947 Partition Archive

The 1947 Partition Archive began in 2008 as a grassroots initiative to document the personal histories of those affected by the Partition of India. This community-based effort has successfully preserved over 11,500 oral history interviews, ensuring that the voices of witnesses are heard and remembered.

Impact of the Archive

As the first and largest documentation effort focused exclusively on Partition, the Archive has raised awareness about the experiences of witnesses and established the 'people’s history' of Partition as a vital area of research and public education.
