Voices of Partition is a web space that was on the British Library website up until October 2023. Following the cyber attack in 2023, the full web space has been unavailable. This interim Padlet board brings together much of the content from the original resource, including articles by expert historians and a large selection of audio and visual sources from the British Library's collections. Also included are supplementary short films and a historical timeline.

Please note that due to ongoing disruption caused by the cyber attack, these are selected highlights from the original web space which has been adapted for Padlet.
