By surveying major archives and initiatives, the study identifies trends in digital preservation and collaborative approaches among curators, researchers, and communities. These efforts not only safeguard cultural heritage but also advance library and information science scholarship by informing archival theory, policy development, and community engagement frameworks. The research highlights the role of digital platforms and partnerships in preserving born-digital and digitized materials for interdisciplinary inquiry and inclusive knowledge production.enAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/Hong Kong collectionsChinese Canadian archivesBorn-digital materialsCommunity collaborationDiaspora studiesArticle
