Participants interacted with three groups of materials and had collective discussions. They reflected on their perceptions of the history and stories documented in the archival materials and further shared insights on the fairness of current immigration systems, as well as potential changes necessary for a more equitable immigration system.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>The archival records activated dialogues in which participants expressed disappointment with historical and ongoing exclusion by the government. They critiqued social beliefs such as the expectation that Asians must conform to white normativity to be accepted in the United States. Participants explored the challenges facing the community, reflected on how their experiences resonate with the archival stories and identified the \u201ccyclical oppression\u201d of the Chinese immigrant community. I propose this process as \u201cdialogue-based archives,\u201d which engages marginalized community members in conversations through archival records, fostering mutual respect, active listening, sharing of lived experiences and critical reflection on oppression.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>Dialogue-based archives effectively engage marginalized communities. It also constitutes rigorous scholarship, contributing to the field of Library and Information Science (LIS) by challenging the dominant white-elitist and Euro-Anglo-centric discourse within the field and highlighting the value of archival engagement work in addressing the needs of marginalized communities. It also specifically contributes to critical archival studies by providing grassroots insights into collection building and description.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/jd-09-2024-0210","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,28]],"date-time":"2025-02-28T00:40:27Z","timestamp":1740703227000},"page":"767-787","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["People first, preservation later: critical community engagement to activate dialogue-based archives"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"81","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6439-9725","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yingying","family":"Han","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,28]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"key2025042506290793100_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"244","DOI":"10.1080\/00933104.2016.1170646","article-title":"Asian Americans in American history: an AsianCrit perspective on Asian American inclusion in state U.S. History curriculum standards","volume":"44","year":"2016","journal-title":"Theory and Research in Social Education"},{"article-title":"Interrogation of Chinese immigrant","year":"1923","author":"Angel Island Immigration Station","key":"key2025042506290793100_ref072"},{"volume-title":"The Fight for Time: Migrant Day Laborers and the Politics of Precarity","year":"2019","key":"key2025042506290793100_ref002","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/oso\/9780190459338.003.0002"},{"issue":"3","key":"key2025042506290793100_ref004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"263","DOI":"10.1080\/21582041.2013.769618","article-title":"Everyday ethics in community-based participatory research","volume":"8","year":"2013","journal-title":"Contemporary Social Science"},{"journal-title":"Prologue Magazine","article-title":"An alleged wife: one immigrant in the Chinese exclusion era","year":"2004","key":"key2025042506290793100_ref070"},{"issue":"13","key":"key2025042506290793100_ref005","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1802","DOI":"10.1177\/1049732316654870","article-title":"Member checking: a tool to enhance trustworthiness or merely a nod to validation?","volume":"26","year":"2016","journal-title":"Qualitative Health Research"},{"key":"key2025042506290793100_ref006","unstructured":"Blanchard, L. and Furco, A.
