The Southeast Asian Digital Archives
The University of Massachusetts
Lowell (UML) requests $265,643 to establish the Southeast Asian Digital
Archives (SEADA) by processing and digitizing eight archival collections
documenting the rich history of Southeast Asian (SEA) refugees in the greater
Lowell, Massachusetts, region in the late 20th century. UML's Library and
Center for Asian American Studies will collaborate with several community
organizations to better understand the histories and cultures of Southeast
Asian Americans by collecting, documenting, preserving, and making publicly
accessible the vast public and personal materials that are currently in danger
of being damaged, lost, or discarded.
