Abstract This collection consists of printed materials, audio and videocassettes, and photographs taken by Brigitte Marshall, who worked as a volunteer in refugee camps in Thailand and as an English-language teacher in California. All materials relate to Southeast Asian refugees, principally Hmong, living in camps in Thailand, and adjusting to life in the United States. Photographs, articles, and reports document Hmong, refugees in camps in Thailand, as well as their resettlement in California, particularly the Fresno area. Printed materials include Hmong and Lao language lessons, memos, correspondence, reports, newsletters, newspaper and magazine articles, refugee orientation materials, publications, and unpublished papers.
Among the highlights of the printed materials are a field report on how the Hmong fared after resettlement in the Fresno area; several issues of the Phanat Nikhom Press, including articles written by camp residents about themselves and their expectations of life in the United States; and refugee assistance materials issued by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and non-governmental organizations. Marshall's varied experience provides a continuum between the camp and resettlement experiences of the Southeast Asian refugees.

Record Info Records originated with the DLF Newsletter, 2000-2005, from which they were converted into a FileMaker database. The FileMaker DB was imported into a database system currently maintained by the Grainger Engineering Library Information Center, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Records for collections added after 2005 were created in this database as part of the Aquifer American Social History Online project. This database is currently being maintained as part of the Aquifer American Social History Online project. 2008-04-23 eng English Digital Library Federation (DLF) oai:dlfcollectionsregistry.grainger.uiuc.edu:70972
