archive & research

it all started with my dad's record collection

CHINATOWN RECORDS ARCHIVE

I'm honored to be trusted with over 30 beloved family collections of records, CDs, tapes, and so much more. This ever-growing community archive now lives in our Chinatown Records studio/archive.

I spend hella hours listening to and researching 1920’s-2000’s Chinese music and history – especially how it overlaps across communities and borders. I learn *the most* from the people who love this music too.

MAKING RECORDS

I also like to make things from the archive, from the music to album covers. The archive is so rich & vast ~ plenty to create *even more* records with!
