South Asian American Digital Archive, NFP

The South Asian American Digital Archive will host an inaugural summit—a national forum aimed at inspiring new library, archives, and museum professionals to address well-documented diversity gaps in the field. The summit will connect young South Asian Americans with current South Asian library, archives, and museum professionals to explore career paths and community memory projects. Activities will include panel discussions, roundtables, mentorship sessions, and community archiving activities. Expected outcomes include increased awareness of careers in the library, archives, and museum professions, stronger community ties, and a model for future summits. Beneficiaries are young South Asian Americans and current library, archives, and museum professionals.
