Collection of Diasporic Voices
A Collection of Oral Histories Contributing to Diasporic Scholarship
At CDV, we curate and preserve oral histories that center voices often excluded from traditional historical narratives. Our collection functions not only as a scholarly resource but also as a cultural archive—capturing both the personal and collective dimensions of migration through first-person accounts. Through themes of displacement, identity, intergenerational memory, and cultural resilience, CDV’s work contributes meaningfully to the field of diasporic scholarship. Our approach blends historical research with qualitative inquiry, bridging academic rigor with accessible, community-rooted storytelling. By documenting lived experiences across generations, we aim to elevate diasporic knowledge and foster a deeper understanding of memory, belonging, and the enduring impact of migration.
