1947 Partition Archives

The 1947 Partition Archives is a project dedicated to preserving and sharing personal stories and historical documents related to the Partition of British India into India and Pakistan. This event, which occurred in August 1947, led to significant social upheaval, mass migrations, and communal violence. The archives collect firsthand accounts, photographs, and records from those who lived through this period, aiming to provide a deeper understanding of its impacts on individuals and communities. By documenting these experiences, the archives contribute to the historical narrative and promote awareness and healing regarding this pivotal moment in South Asian history.
