Wayne Maeda, as a student was one of the founders of the Asian American Studies Program (AAS) at Sacramento State University. For 42 years, he was the primary professor for AAS. When Wayne passed away in February 2013, he donated his private library and collection to Ethnic Studies. In response to his wishes Dr. Mark (also a pioneer in the founding of AAS) created the Wayne Maeda Asian American Studies Archive to serve university students, faculty, researchers, and the community-at-large.

The panel will explore the creation of the Archive, the Archive as it is today, the role of students, community partnerships, and its outreach programs locally, regionally, nationally and international. The foundations of the Archive are its four components; Japanese Americans in California, Filipinos in the United States, Korean Americans in California, and Hmong Americans in the U.S. The Hmong American/Hmongs in Southeast Asia collections and outreach programs will be in scope national and international.

In conclusion, the panel, "History, Memory, Identity: Building the Wayne Maeda Asian American Studies Archive," will examine the historical development and purpose. There will also be specific details about the exhibit created by the Archive. The three events that were provided by the Archive and the partnerships will also be elaborated. Lastly, it exams how an Archive can be a Service-Learning tool for California State University, Sacramento students, and other Asian American student groups. Future projects will also be briefly Paper presented.
