The month of May is the U.S. Government’s official celebration of Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month and a rich variety of government resources are available through federal institutions such as the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian Institution. SBU Libraries is proud to highlight its own resources, such as our Asian American Studies subject guide and our books and videos and peer-reviewed articles to help you learn more about the culture, traditions, history, and contributions of many generations of Americans of Asian and Pacific heritage.
