UCI Special Collections and Archives and OC & SEAA
Our Mission
"UCI Libraries Special Collections & Archives serves the campus, local, and international communities by fostering curiosity and discovery through preservation, access, and education. We work to create an open atmosphere that nurtures cultural and knowledge exchange. We welcome everyone to participate and engage with our unique and rare materials.
UCI Libraries Special Collections & Archives strives to strengthen our collections, cultivate non-custodial partnerships, and enrich the UCI, Orange County, and global scholarly community. We aspire to curate and disseminate a cohesive mosaic of historical information, in response to critical scholarship and with an eye toward future generations. We seek to be at the heart of the global scholarly endeavor through community-centered partnerships, robust research support, and creative teaching and learning resources."
A place for community-centered archives work.
"The Orange County & Southeast Asian Archive (OC&SEAA) Center provides a collaborative learning and event space, consultation and research support, and community-centered archives partnerships for UC Irvine, the Orange County California region, and the diasporic communities of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos.
We welcome partnerships with UC Irvine students, faculty and staff, the Orange County community, and those working to share the stories of the Southeast Asian diaspora. We trust in community expertise and lived experience as the impetus for building inclusive, community-centered archives."
