It was founded in 2008 in order to document and provide access to the diverse and relatively unknown stories of South Asian Americans. Our collection reflects the vast range of experiences of the South Asian diaspora in the United States, including those who trace their heritage to Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and the many South Asian diaspora communities across the globe.
The South Asian American Digital Archive (SAADA) hopes to play an important role in the preservation and availability of primary historical materials that document the history of South Asian American communities. We envision an organization that will encourage dialogue, debate and discussion on the role of history in the creation of South Asian American identities and communities. Our ultimate goal is to examine the importance of the past in shaping the future and to ensure that the stories of the South Asian diaspora in the United States are preserved for future generations.
