Fwd: Introducing the South Asian American Digital Archive (SAADA)
by Dr. J. K. Vijayakumar 04 Aug '11

04 Aug '11

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Samip Mallick <mallick(a)uchicago.edu> Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2011 20:52:01 -0500 Subject: [Consald-l] Introducing the South Asian American Digital Archive (SAADA) To: CONSALD <consald-l(a)library.wisc.edu> The South Asian American Digital Archive (SAADA) aims to document, preserve and provide access to the history of the South Asian American community. The archive is available online at http://www.saadigitalarchive.org We welcome all comments and suggestions at info(a)saadigitalarchive.org ********** SAADA’s digital collections reflect the vast range of experiences of the South Asian diaspora in the U.S., including those who trace their heritage to Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and the many South Asian diaspora communities across the globe. SAADA was founded in 2008 and was incorporated as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization in 2010. SAADA founder and President of the Board Samip Mallick explained, “We founded SAADA in recognition of a critical need to document and preserve the history of this community. There are no other archives that are working to systematically document, preserve and make accessible the material history of South Asians in the United States. Without SAADA, we feared that this history was in danger of being lost.” Digitized materials in SAADA’s collections reflect the diversity of the community, including: the papers of the first Asian American Congressman, Dalip Singh Saund; historic articles about the early immigration of South Asians to the U.S. dating from 1910; pamphlets created by the Gadar Party in California in 1915; and photographs documenting the political activism of the South Asian American Voting Youth (SAAVY) in 2004. “A community's strength is in its collective memory,” said SAADA board member, Tina Bhaga Yokota. “I like to think of SAADA as a brain trust of South Asian American history. We're interested in the small stories as well as the big ones. Everyone’s history is important. The more stories we archive - through photos, letters, video, or other media – the more our collective memory strengthens. But we have to start now, because our grandparents and great grandparents’ are getting older and we need to capture their stories so they can be shared with subsequent generations.” SAADA is currently looking to expand its collections by digitizing additional materials. The organization is particularly interested in archival records that document a range of political engagement and cultural expression among diverse South Asian American communities. Those interested in contributing are encouraged to contact the organization. Unlike most archives, SAADA focuses solely on providing access to materials on the internet. “SAADA is different from museum exhibitions or university collections because it's located online, catalogued systematically, and accessible to all, free of charge. I envision SAADA being an interactive learning hub for accessing personal perspectives of larger movements, important local histories, and forgotten narratives from early settlers in the 19th and 20th centuries,” Yokota said. Board member Manan Desai echoed this excitement. “As a repository of materials relating to this diaspora, SAADA can become an invaluable resource for researchers and community members in piecing together the past. Putting these materials online allows this history to be accessible for a larger public,” he said. ********** All the best, Samip Samip Mallick President Board of Directors South Asian American Digital Archive (SAADA) Email: samip(a)saadigitalarchive.org http://www.saadigitalarchive.org -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

02 Aug '11

Dear Moderator, I shall be grateful if you could post the following announcement of Curran Associates Inc., New York, who are the world's premier conference proceedings specialists and have been supplying proceedings published by 500 scholarly societies, professional associations and publishers to libraries around the world since 1984. Thanking you, Yours sincerely, M.N. SeetharamanCountry Representative of Curran Associates in India ======================================================================================================================= CURRAN ASSOCIATES INC., REDHOOK, NEW YORK, USA To Our Valued Customers, Published proceedings of international conferences organized by scholarly societies, professional associations and other publishers are considered as vital sources of information about new research breakthroughs, innovations, methodologies and best practices, particularly in the fields of science, engineering and technology. It is only at important national and international conferences that these research findings are reported and debated for the first time long before their formal publication in journals etc. Therefore, conference proceedings have become as one of the most essential ingredients for the success of scientific, technical and academic research and training. For more than 25 years, Curran Associates Inc. has been one of the world’s premier conference proceedings specialists. In recent years, many conference proceedings have shifted from printed format to electronic. Though electronic media provides some advantage, there are many users who prefer print. In order to continue to satisfy our library clients that prefer print, Curran Associates has secured agreements with hundreds of publishers to produce printed versions of conference proceedings from their electronic media. These printed versions are not available from the original publishers. The books are printed and assembled with a perfect bind, using a soft cover (100# semigloss cover stock). They are professional, sturdy, clean, and filled with the same research provided on the electronic media. For an updated listing of all of our titles, please visit our website at www.proceedings.com, where you can browse by publisher or by thirteen different categories. Please check back from time to time, as we are continually adding new titles. We look forward to continuing our relationship and working with you to satisfy your unmet needs for printed conference proceedings. Regards, Dave Curran 57 Morehouse Lane Red Hook, NY 12571 USA Ph: 845-758-0400 Fx: 845-758-2633 www.proceedings.com Ordering Information Curran Associates, Inc. 57 Morehouse Lane Red Hook, NY 12571 USA Phone: +1-845-758-0400 /Fax: +1-845-758-2633curran(a)proceedings.com or through any local booksellers. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
