INTRODUCTION

The purpose of the Austin History Center is to provide customers with information about

the history and current events of Austin and Travis County by collecting, organizing, and

preserving research materials and assisting in their use so that customers can learn from

the community’s collective memory.

The collections of the Austin History Center contain valuable materials about Austin’s

Asian American communities, although there is much that remains to be documented.

The materials in the resource guide are arranged by collection unit of the Austin History

Center. Within each collection unit, items are arranged in shelf-list order.

This is the sixth edition of the Asian American Resource Guide and there are still

significant gaps remaining. The final section, “Under-documented Areas of Interest,”

contains a listing of topics and people about which additional material is still needed at

the Austin History Center.
