Some of these voices are being recorded for the first time
Help Preserve the Stories That Built Asian America
AAACI records, preserves, and shares Asian American histories through archival research, oral history, exhibitions, and film.
Every archive begins with a person, a family, and a life shaped by migration, resilience, and belonging.
More Than archives — Living memory
Behind every archive is a person.
A family.
A journey shaped by migration, resilience, and hope.
By supporting AAACI, you help ensure these stories are preserved with care and shared with the world—not only as historical records, but as living memory.
Together, we can make sure these voices are never forgotten.
