The South Asian American Digital Archive (SAADA) aims to "create a more inclusive society by giving voice to South Asian Americans through documenting, preserving, and sharing stories that represent their unique and diverse experiences." Readers may like to begin by reading the excellent short essay, "An Introduction to South Asian American History," which can be located under the Resources tab. From there, readers may browse the site by Theme, Subject, Collection, Source, Time Period, and other options. Tides, the online magazine of the archive, is another interesting feature of the site. Here readers will find articles that examine such issues as growing up South Asian in Queens, the effects of the 1965 Immigration Act, and the yoga scare that swept the nation in 1927.
