Southeast Asian Archive
One of the strongest collections in the world that documents the post-Vietnam War refugees and immigrants from the former Indochina—Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam—the Southeast Asian Archive contains a wide variety of materials in English and Southeast Asian languages. While the scope is international, California, and, in particular, Orange County, are the best documented. The Archive’s overall strengths include the refugee camp experiences of boat people and land refugees, resettlement efforts in the United States and beyond, and the development and progress of new ethnic communities. Materials include books, dissertations, newsletters, personal narratives, personal and organizational archives, ephemera, posters, photographs, paintings, newspaper and journal articles, and government documents.
