Tarita Foundation ORAL HISTORY

Tarita Foundation · Asian American Oral History Archive

Uncommon stories, from ordinary families.

First-hand accounts of Asian American family life, collected by students: what gets cooked on a weeknight, which language is spoken to whom, how a family tells the story of its own arrival, and what it wants remembered in a hundred years.
