ABOUT SACDA
Archiving South Asian Canadian History
A PAN-CANADIAN DIGITAL ARCHIVE
The South Asian Canadian Digital Archive (SACDA) collects, digitizes, and preserves materials connected to the South Asian diaspora across Canada. From photographs and documents to oral histories and community records, SACDA safeguards the stories of South Asian Canadians for future generations.
