Salidaa.org.uk is a unique digital archive dedicated to preserving and promoting the rich cultural heritage of South Asian, African, and Caribbean communities in the UK. Our mission is to document and share the artistic, literary, and historical contributions of these communities, making them accessible to the public, researchers, educators, and future generations.
Founded as the South Asian Diaspora Literature and Arts Archive (SALIDAA), the platform has grown into a comprehensive online resource, showcasing a diverse range of materials—from rare manuscripts and photographs to oral histories and contemporary media. We believe that every story matters, and through our carefully curated collections, we aim to give voice to individuals and communities often underrepresented in mainstream archives.
At Salidaa.org.uk, we are passionate about cultural education and community engagement. Our resources support academic research, classroom learning, and public understanding of diaspora experiences. We work closely with artists, writers, scholars, and local organizations to ensure that the archive reflects both historical depth and contemporary relevance.
Whether you’re a student, historian, educator, or simply curious about the UK’s multicultural landscape, Salidaa.org.uk is here to inform, inspire, and connect you to stories that matter.
