what are we really doing?
Stories Missing From the American Record
For generations, Asian American histories—especially early Chinese American stories in Texas—have remained fragmented, overlooked, or undocumented. As archives fade and community knowledge disappears, these stories risk being lost forever.
Where Research, Art, and Community Come Together
AAACI transforms archival research and oral histories into public-facing exhibitions, films, and educational programs. Through research-based art and community collaboration, history becomes something people can see, hear, and experience—not just read about.
Preserving History for Public Access and Future Generations Supporting text
Through public humanities research, community archives, and youth training, AAACI builds long-term infrastructure for historical preservation. Our work ensures Asian American histories are not only preserved—but integrated into public education, cultural institutions, and collective memory
