It is an EXCELLENT project. I do have a suggestion: while Oral History is very important, your project should , may be in second phase, collect and gather old pre-partition documents, books, poems, nazms and photographs that can be digitilized and made available thru your organisation for a fee. I for one am looking for SHAH-Jo-RASALO, SACHAL SARMAST COLLECTION or original sindhi Movie UMER-MARVI, etc If any one has any leads, I will be eternally grageful.
