Abstract	In this article, I consider the use of Asian American digital archives as sources of critical inquiry for the elementary social studies classroom. First, I provide a brief overview of early South Asian American history, focusing on Punjabi and Bengali migrations. Then, I orient educators to two noteworthy community archives, the South Asian American Digital Archive (SAADA) and the Pioneering Punjabis Digital Archive. A sample lesson on Bhagat Singh Thind, a South Asian pioneer who challenged exclusionary citizenship laws in the twentieth century, is provided, demonstrating one possible way to incorporate the primary sources from digital archives for elementary social studies. Community archives provide essential resources for learning the histories of Asian Americans, the fastest growing demographic group in the United States. (As Provided).
