Sadiya Ahmed is a Freelance Heritage Consultant. She established Everyday Muslim Heritage and Archive Initiative in 2013 in response to the lack of representation of the Muslim narrative in archives, museums, and education in Britain. There are three archive collections consisting of; oral history interviews, personal documents, photographs, and ephemera held at five archive depositories across London and the South-East. As well as a considerable resource of educational material, videos, and podcasts available on the Everyday Muslim website. Currently, she is developing a digital history map of Muslim history in Britain.
Alongside her experience in planning and managing heritage projects and fundraising, she has also negotiated collaborations and partnerships with museums, archives, academics, universities, artists, media, and community groups across Britain. She works with Oxford University, Cambridge University, Barakat Trust, Leighton House, Proudly Muslim and Black, The Greater London Authority and Muslim in Research in Britain Network on various heritage projects to amplify those histories absent or suppressed in the broader British history discourse.
