About the Oral History Student Intership: The 1947 Partition Archive Provides a platform to record, preserve and share narratives of Paritition created for and by people across the globe. We want to educate the world on Partition, especially through first-hand accounts and lived experiences. The OHSI program is one of our initiatives to collect stories from Partition witnesses. The Archive works to ignite research and discovery based on lived Partition experiences. The OHSI Program is ideal for students who have a deep interest and passion for modern South Asian history and storytelling, as well as a passion for travelling, writing, meeting new people and gaining a better understanding of the world and culture around them. OHSIs will reach out to individuals in their community who have witnessed Partition firsthand (migrants and non-migrants), record their oral histories and share them through the Archive’s web portal and media collaborations. The promary differences between the OHSI and other 1947 Partition Archive programs is the time length commitment, the work requirement, and the duration, Oral History Student Interns will be eligible at the end of their term to continue as part-time Oral History Apprentices during the school year. Like other internship programs, the OHSI is strictly monitored and all program requirements must be met and on-time. OHSIs may be granted opportunities to present their work in public and academic spaces. OHSIs will receive a modest stipend to help with travel and other logisitcal costs, and a certificate upon successful completion of the program.
