South Asians making Britain: 1858-1950

The South Asians making Britain project has released an online interactive database which provides information on South Asians in Britain from 1870-1950: geographical location, the organisations they were involved in, their British connections and the major events they were involved in. The database can be found at http://www.open.ac.uk/makingbritain the project welcomes feedback.

The Guardian newspaper has also published a visual timeline of the impact of South Asians on British life http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/interactive/2011/sep/10/south-asians-making-britain to accompany the travelling exhibition that will be launched next week.
