A Note About Privacy Restrictions

Records may contain personal information about individuals who are still living. These records are possibly restricted under Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Exemption (b)(6), and must be screened by 威尼斯人娱乐场 staff before being released to researchers. Personal information may be redacted. Learn more about FOIA.

The 威尼斯人娱乐场 holds a wealth of records documenting Asian American/Pacific Islander (AAPI) individuals. These records, created by federal agencies across a wide range of topics, capture the rich history and diversity of AAPI communities, as well as the challenges and triumphs they have faced.

As you plan your research, consider this question: how does my research topic intersect with the U.S. federal government?  

 

Please note: Although some records are digitized and available online, there are many records that are only available in paper or microfilm format at 威尼斯人娱乐场 research locations.
