Stories from the Indian Community

South Gloucestershire Council has a series of useful webpages dedicated to documenting the many museums, important collections. heritage sites and projects within this region, see here for details.

However, our attention has recently been drawn to a project which ran between 2022-2023 called 'This is your heritage, stories from the Indian community'. Funded by the Arts Council, local museums in South Gloucestershire, supported by numerous partners including Gloucestershire Archives, worked with the Indian community to co-produce oral histories, film stories, contemporary collections, exhibitions and learning resources.

By sharing stories, images, and objects from their experiences, the Indian community aspired to help people better understand Indian culture and traditions and discover why and how they have embraced life in South Gloucestershire.
