Preserving collective history

Our mission and history

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. Today, over 11,500 memories of Partition witnesses have been preserved. As a result, unlike in 2008, Partition is no longer a forgotten memory today, and witnesses’ plight is being heard the world over. Through the sharing of thousands of witness accounts millions of times over the last decade via social media and other digital means, the “people’s history” of Partition has been established and is now a growing and active area of research as well as new documentation efforts.  We are proud to have accomplished our first goal of popularizing recognition for this important chapter in our global history.  We look forward to working with you in ensuring that the lessons of Partition are taught in textbooks around the world, so that we may avoid repeating history.
