Note that the archive is no longer being updated with new data and is provided as is for research and historical purposes as was the original intent. It is the hope that this project in some small way can spur other community projects to share their data.
The github repository for the Asian American archive project (http://aacv19projectv2.azurewebsites.net/) is divided into the following folders:
- datafiles: This directory contains the main index JSON file of all content data that is currently being archived.
- images: This directory holds all images that have been able to be archived.
- htmlfiles: This directory contains all source data that was able to be archived as HTML files.
- pdfs: This directory holds all source data that was able to be archived as PDF files.
