The South Asian American Digital Archive (SAADA) was established in 2008 to document, digitally preserve and make accessible the history of the South Asian American community. SAADA is a 501(c)3 recognized not-for-profit organization registered in the State of Illinois.

Current SAADA collections include materials about Dalip Singh Saund, the first congressperson of Indian heritage, the Gadar Party and the Kerala Catholic Association of Southeast Michigan.

SAADA is the only digital repository for materials related to the South Asian community in the United States. SAADA’s digital-only approach to archives presents a major re-conceptualization of traditional archival functions. In this innovative, “post-custodial” approach to archives, original archival documents remain with the institutions or individuals from which they originate, while digital access copies are available online

Other similar digital archiving projects for the Asian American community include Densho.
