As library and information science students, we have an important role to play in preserving and promoting AAPI heritage. During May, many cultural heritage organizations and libraries highlight AAPI resources, materials, and events. It can be overwhelming with how many resources are out there, but here are a few good places to start:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/asianpacificheritage.gov\/\"><b>Asian Pacific American Heritage Month website<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a collaborative project of the Library of Congress and the National Archives Records Administration, National Endowment for the Humanities, National Gallery of Art, National Park Service, Smithsonian Institution, and United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
