Well Settled: Archiving Vietnamese histories in Hackney

Named after a Vietnamese phrase meaning ‘well settled’, the An Việt Foundation was established by Mr. Vũ Khánh Thành in Hackney in 1981. The organisation offered essential support to Vietnamese refugees, growing into a vital community hub during its almost 40 years in existence. In this session, An Việt Archives Steering Committee member Phuong Anh reflects on the history of the organisation and the work currently being done to preserve and share what is the largest known British-Vietnamese archive collection in the UK.
