archive & research

chinatown records

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, & so much more. This ever-growing community archive now lives in our Chinatown Records studio/archive.

I spend hella hours listening to & researching 1920’s-2000’s Chinese music and history – especially how it overlaps across communities & 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!
