South Asian Oral History Project

Started by Irene Joshi, South Asian Studies Librarian with the University of Washington Libraries (1970-2000), the South Asian Oral History Project (SAOHP) was established to document the stories and experiences of this complex and quickly growing immigrant group, with the intention of demonstrating the South Asian community's historical and contemporary importance to the Pacific Northwest. Following her retirement, Mrs. Joshi left a grant to fund the project; it was coordinated by her successors in the position of South Asian Studies Librarian, under the auspices of the University of Washington Libraries. Three phases of the project have been completed; additional rounds of interviews may be undertaken in the future.
