SUMMARY:Community Archives in the Digital Era: Creating the South Asian American Digital Archive
DESCRIPTION:
 Since the organization's inception in 2008, SAADA 
 has built a digital archive of over 1,600 
 discrete items, undertaken innovative initiatives 
 like its First Days Project, and through 
 outreach and educational programming has raised 
 awareness about the rich history of South 
 Asians in the United States.  The SAADA website 
 received nearly 200,000 visitors from around 
 the world in the last year alone and the 
 organization has been covered by the New York 
 Times, NPR, BBC World Service, India Abroad 
 and other publication both in the U.S. and in 
 South Asia.  \n
 \n
 Samip Mallick, SAADA's co-founder 
 and Executive Director, will share stories 
 from the archive and the organization's 
 unique approach to documenting and preserving 
 community history.\n

 Cosponsored by the MSU
