莱斯大学11月4日讲座讲述休斯顿亚裔档案与华人历史
莱斯大学商学院「休斯顿影响力系列」秋季讲座将于11月4日晚举行，地点在德州哈里斯县休斯顿市的莱斯大学麦克奈尔堂。主讲人为休斯顿亚裔美国人档案联合创始人兼负责人赵安妮博士，主题是亚裔社区的勇气与韧性如何塑造了今天的休斯顿。讲座时间为晚6时至7时，随后为招待交流。主持人为莱斯大学历史学家波蒂娅·霍普金斯博士。赵安妮是现代中国史学者，毕业于卫斯理学院，并在莱斯大学获得现代中国史博士学位，现任莱斯大学人文学科兼职讲师，同时负责管理休斯顿亚裔美国人档案。
休斯顿亚裔美国人档案长期收集和保存本地亚裔家庭、企业和社团的历史资料，包括口述历史、照片和文件，帮助研究者和公众了解亚裔移民如何在休斯顿扎根、创业和参与社区建设。赵安妮的研究关注华人移民历史，她的工作把学术研究与社区记忆结合起来，让档案不只是锁在库房里的资料，而是可以被后代查阅和讲述的共同历史。
主办方表示，这场讲座属于「社区中的卓越领导力故事」系列，意在呈现不同族裔领袖如何推动城市发展。对于休斯顿华人社区而言，档案工作尤其有意义：许多早期移民的故事如果不及时记录，就会随着一代人的离去而消失。讲座免费向公众开放，欢迎关心本地历史和亚裔社区发展的居民参加。
Rice University Lecture on November 4 to Tell the Story of the Houston Asian American Archive
The Rice University business school's fall "Houston Impact Series" lecture will be held on the evening of November 4 at McNair Hall on the Rice campus in Houston, Harris County, Texas. The speaker is Dr. Anne Chao, co-founder and manager of the Houston Asian American Archive, on how the Asian community's courage and resilience shaped today's Houston. The talk runs from 6 to 7 p.m., followed by a reception. The moderator is Dr. Portia Hopkins, Rice University's historian. Chao, a scholar of modern Chinese history, graduated from Wellesley College and earned her doctorate in modern Chinese history at Rice; she is an adjunct lecturer in the humanities at Rice and manages the Houston Asian American Archive.
The archive has long collected and preserved historical materials from local Asian families, businesses and organizations, including oral histories, photographs and documents, helping researchers and the public understand how Asian immigrants put down roots, built businesses and joined community life in Houston. Chao's research focuses on Chinese immigrant history, and her work joins academic scholarship with community memory, so that the archive is not material locked in a vault but a shared history later generations can consult and retell.
Organizers said the lecture is part of the "Exemplary Stories of Leadership within Community" series, which presents how leaders of different backgrounds have driven the city's development. For Houston's Chinese community, archival work carries special meaning: if the stories of early immigrants are not recorded in time, they will disappear with their generation. The lecture is free and open to the public, and residents interested in local history and the Asian community are welcome.
