Oral history excerpts 

Enter the oral history archive and glimpse into the 11,500+ oral history interviews (more than 2,000,000 videos and  5,000,000 photographs)  you have helped document. See more excerpts on YouTube and Facebook. Our professional archivists work alongside community based volunteer archivists in meticulously describing the collections, while Citizen Historians (community based oral historians) are actively helping to build the collections.

We thank you for your patience as we work to build a collection that will inform humanity into perpetuity.

Kasur Archives

The Kasur Archives, is a new repository currently under construction, documenting Kasur’s postcolonial transition. The archive will offer invaluable insights into the city’s social, political, and economic evolution through the transition. The collection constitutes historical documents, municipal and school records, photographs and copies of other artifacts. Over time, we expect that it will serve as an indispensable resource for researchers, historians, and enthusiasts alike.
