Event Details

Join us for the first South Asian American Digital Archive Community Forum!

The South Asian American Digital Archive (SAADA) wants to hear from you! We want your help in building a comprehensive collection of digital materials documenting South Asian American history.

Please join us for a community forum to discuss how to document, preserve and provide access to South Asian American history led by Samip Mallick (MLIS), President & Co-Founder, SAADA and Michelle Caswell (MA, MLIS), Secretary & Co-Founder, SAADA. The forum will take place at Roosevelt University's Murray- Green Library, located at 430 S. Michigan, 10th Floor.


Following a presentation on community archiving and the South Asian American Digital Archive, we will engage in an open discussion on the following questions:

  • What do you want future generations to know about the South Asian American community of today?
  • Which organizations and individuals in Chicago should be included in the archive?
  • How do we represent the diversity of the South Asian American community in SAADA?
  • What aspects of South Asian American history do you wish you knew more about?

Please come ready to discuss and bring questions of your own!


This event is open to the public and all are invited to attend. Please RSVP via eventbrite.
For questions, please contact Samip Mallick at samip@saadigitalarchive.org


Light refreshments will be provided and Chef Suzy Singh will be serving samosas!
 

This event is being organized by the South Asian American Digital Archive (SAADA) and Roosevelt University with support from the Asian Giving Circle, Chicago.
