南加大圖書館2月9日(星期二)舉辦台美人數位史料論壇及展覽。
南加大圖書館一向致力於收藏特別歷史文物及史料典藏來提供各界作學術研究之用。最近在駐館史料專員台美人第二代青年陳怡玲Joanna Chen Cham (南加州陳隆先生的女兒)(見下圖)的不斷努力下，並且得到該校館圖書館員及東亞圖館主任Kenneth Klein的指導及支持，將在南加大圖書館開闢「台美人數位史料」部，收藏並且將台美人史料數位。
這是在全美大學第一個設有專門收藏台美人史料的圖書館。南加大位於台美人聚集的洛杉磯、柑縣，聖地牙哥等大城市附近，南加大圖書館希望能和台美社區建立一個管道，來保存台美人在美國發展的特殊史料。
台美人數位史料論壇及展覽的時間是2016年2月9日(星期二)下午1點到2點30分，地點在南加大Doheny Memorial Library，East Asian Library Seminar Room， 3550 Trousdale Parkway, USC Campus, Los Angeles, CA，Tel 213-740-1772。有意前往參加者請先向陳怡玲報名 Joanna.cham@usc.edu。
ANNOUNCEMENT:
The University of Southern California cordially invites all interested scholars and members of the community to attend the Taiwanese American Digital Archive Forum & Exhibit held in the USC East Asian Library Seminar Room on Tuesday, February 9, 2016 from 1:00PM-2:30PM.
As an academic research library in a world-renowned university, the University of Southern California Libraries’ Special Collections and Archives collects, preserves, and provides access to many valuable historical collections. The initiative for the USC Special Collections and Archives’ Taiwanese American Digital Archive began as a documentation and outreach strategy proposed by 2015-2016 USC Los Angeles as Subject Resident Archivist Joanna Chen Cham, a second-generation Taiwanese American passionate about community archives and history, under the direction of USC University Librarian and East Asian Library Head Kenneth Klein. Overall, research conducted by Joanna Chen Cham of existing collections suggests that few Taiwanese American records have been collected. In many cases, Taiwanese American collections are largely overlooked and there is a large gap in the historical record regarding Taiwanese Americans in Los Angeles and in the nation, and USC is uniquely positioned geographically and through community ties to be able to capture this historical record before it is gone.
In light of the Taiwanese American community’s unique history and contributions and the urgent need to preserve this history before it is lost, USC Special Collections and Archives is beginning an effort to actively collect Taiwanese American history. Therefore, USC is now proud to announce the beginnings of a new Taiwanese American Digital Archive at USC and to be one of the first universities to focus on preserving the Taiwanese American community’s unique history and contributions through collecting archival materials.
