We are #ChasingMemories to honor our ancestors for the 10,000 Stories Challenge. Visit us at mightycause.com/organization/1947partitionarchive (global) -OR- letzchange.org/projects/chasingmemories (India only) Scroll down to read more....

What will you do to honor your ancestors memories? The 1947 Partition Archive (https://www.1947PartitionArchive.org) has been working with you in documenting oral histories of Partition since 2010. We provide the platform and training for you to document and preserve memories of Partition witnesses in your family and community. So far 8000 memories have been preserved in the form of oral history. We aim to record at least 10,000 this year through the support this campaign generates.

Witnesses of Partition aren't geographically limited to certain areas of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. In fact witnesses are spread all over every region of South Asia and also the world! So check in with your neighbors and friends. Join us now in honoring their memories.

#ChasingMemories is a campaign that aims to not only raise awareness of this historically significant but little understood event in global history, that continues to impact our lives today in subtle but powerful ways, but it also aims to help us raise funds to actually do the work of documenting (which is not free of cost). It covers our equipment, infrastructure and basic core staff salary costs (which are quite humble).

You can donate to a campaign today, or you can launch your own campaign or event today. We are on MightCause.com (global donations) and LetzChange.org (India donations only) at the links below:

Go ahead! Make your donation now in support of a campaigner, and in support of our ancestors.

You can also reach out to us if you have ideas for hosting events in your area, and other activities.

Use hastag #ChasingMemories on social media!

Let's work together to ensure no more stories are lost and forgotten.
