For journalists
What began as an idea in 2008 to acknowledge and popularize the people’s history of Partition has been accomplished through the founding and building of The 1947 Partition Archive which has preserved over 10,200 memories of Partition witnesses. Unlike in 2008, today, Partition is no longer a forgotten memory, and it’s witnesses.
We are immensely grateful to our Founding Donors for laying the foundation for this people-powered oral history archive.During these initial stages of our growth, we seek to work closely with Founding Donors who are not only recognized for life, but have the opportunity to increase their impact and legacy after the initial contribution period is over.
