South Asian Britain: Connected Histories is an interactive digital learning resource that offers an exciting insight into the long history of South Asians in Britain. Users can access histories of how South Asian people, events and organizations were networked and connected across the four nations of the UK, from the 1830s to the present.
This online resource provides information about people, the organizations they were involved in, their connections and networks, and the major events in which they participated in Britain from the 1830s to the present day. It includes newly recorded oral histories and extracts from archival sources. Designed as an interactive tool, it offers engaging and innovative search and browsing options, including timelines, location maps and network diagrams, modelled on social networking sites, which demonstrate South Asians' interactions and relationships in Britain across time. The resource also provides information about people who were not South Asian but connected to South Asian lives. The site includes pages that highlight important themes and these are extended in our learning resources pages.
South Asian Britain: Connecting Histories is a major output of the Arts and Humanities Research Council–funded research project ‘Remaking Britain: South Asian Connections and Networks, 1830s to the Present’ (AH/X001520/1). ‘Remaking Britain’ is a collaborative project led by the University of Bristol and Queen Mary University of London, in partnership with the British Library.
