PiA DIGITAL ARCHIVE AND ORAL HISTORY PROJECT
PiA is creating a digital archive to preserve and organize the organization’s historic collection of documents, photographs, artifacts, and other materials, as well as oral histories in a comprehensive online repository. We encourage members of our community to connect with us if you have documents, video footage, photographs, or other materials related to PiA that you would be interested in contributing to our digital archive, or if you would like to be interviewed for PiA’s oral history project.

Princeton in Asia is a community for life, and our Alumni volunteers make a difference in every area of our work, from applicant recruitment to fundraising. There is something for everyone, whether you’re looking to share your PiA experiences with new Fellows at their pre-departure orientation or to connect with your fellow PiA Alumni by planning social events in your area.
In the 2021-22 fiscal year, 128 PiA Alumni and friends volunteered over 580 hours of their time to support our work and our community!
