Kam Minority Archive
A searchable record of cultural knowledge, daily life, and artistic traditions of Kam (Dong) communities in Guizhou, China.
The Kam Minority Archive gathers original photographs, video and audio recordings, and field notes produced through long-term research and collaboration in Dimen. The digital collection is hosted by University of the Pacific’s Scholarly Commons.
Preserving original materials
From fieldwork to a digital collection
The archive provides access to research materials rather than presenting them only as finished films, exhibitions, or publications. These original records allow visitors to explore the processes, relationships, and cultural context behind the projects.
It complements the book, documentary films, motif collection, and stories from Dimen.
Visit the Pacific repository to browse and search the collection; the files themselves are maintained there.
