Korean Canadian identities and archives : records of a family Park, Grace Jee-Hyun

Abstract

The goal of this research is to examine the state of Korean Canadian archives. It does so by conducting conversational interviews with the author’s three family members. Using autoethnography, the author explores how these interviews reflect Korean Canadian identities and how personal value is connected to what are considered records. It is suggested that the state of Korean Canadian archives is shaped by different conceptions of identity that do not neatly fall into a single conception of being Korean Canadian. It concludes with the notion that embracing the personal in identity-based archives will mean embracing differences and intracommunity tensions.
