The Houston Asian American Archive (HAAA) is an archive with both digital and physical presence at Rice University, for the sole purpose of scholarship. The Archive consists primarily of its oral history collection of over 300 interviews , including exhibitions which showcase the archival materials ; interactive and creative community projects ; as well as podcasts, panels discussions and other events surrounding the topics of Asian and Asian American experiences. The Archive is managed by the Chao Center for Asian Studies at Rice University. Each semester, ten to twenty Rice student interns join the HAAA internship program to receive oral history techniques training, conduct and transcribe interviews, as well as research and write on the materials they collect through this method of history studies, some of which are submitted for a Chao Center's student-run publication Rice Asian Studies Review (RASR).

The Chao Center for Asian Studies also incorporate studies and courses of the Houston Asian community and contemporary Asia in a global context. For example, in "ASIA 305: Ethnographic Research In/Of Houston Asian," taught by Ka-Kin Cheuk in fall 2020, students actively conduct interviews of the local Asian community, one of which includes the Sikh temple, a Zoroastrian temple and a Buddhist temple within the Houston community for ethnographic field work. The Archive served as an integral source of information in the teaching of this course. "It is not just about how we write ethnography about them," Cheuk said, "but also that we give the Asian-American communities an opportunity to see how students study at Rice." -- Dr. Ka-Kin Cheuk
