We preserve Asian American stories — in our own voices, with care and consent.
Preserving our stories, on our terms.
What We Do
Record Lived Experiences
We collect oral histories from Asian Americans across generations, preserving perspectives that might otherwise be lost.
Protect Contributors' Control
Every contributor decides what to share, how it's used, and who can access their story. Full stop.
Preserve for Future Generations
Stories are preserved with archival care, ready for families, communities, and future researchers.
Why It Matters
Family histories fade when they're not recorded. Community memories scatter across generations. The stories that shaped our parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents deserve to be heard — and preserved.
This archive exists to keep those stories alive, for families who want to remember and for future generations who want to learn.
