'A History of Muslims in Oxford’ is a collaborative research project between the History Faculty and Everyday Muslim Heritage and Archive Initiative (EMHAI).
The project aims to document and preserve the history, heritage and culture of the Muslims living, working and studying throughout Oxford and Oxfordshire – contributing to creating a digital archive collection.
The project team is led by Sadiya Ahmed (EMHAI’s Project Director) and Dr Aleena Din. They are conducting oral history interviews, archival research and collecting other material to develop a Muslim heritage trail of Oxford and Oxfordshire. This exciting project will go some way towards highlighting the Muslim community’s established presence in the region and its long-standing links to the University.
