California State University, Long Beach Foundation

California State University and Pacific Directions will develop a strategy to collect and conserve documentation related to the Cambodian genocide during the Pol Pot regime. Long Beach, California, is home to more Cambodians than anywhere else outside Southeast Asia. This project will lay the foundations for a new type of collaborative archival collecting guided by both the archives staff and community members. The partnership is part of a broader effort by the university to establish a new research center focusing on Cambodian collections.
