Founded in 2000 by Claire Hsu and Johnson Chang, the Asia Art Archive (AAA) is a non-profit organization that was formed to address "the urgent need to document and make accessible the multiple recent histories of art in the region." Based out of Hong Kong, the AAA is home to artwork, photographs, manuscripts, and more from across the continent of Asia. On the collection page of AAA's website, visitors can browse 32 collections, which includes over 60,000 digitized items. These collections include the archive of Pakistani artist Salima Hashmi, the archive of Indian artist and printmaker Jyoti Bhatt, and the archive of Hong Kong artist Ha Bik Chuen. In addition to individual artist archives, the collection includes archives from specific art centers or exhibitions (such as the China Avantgarde Exhibit Archive) as well journals and magazines. Visitors can also conduct a text search of these archives and filter results to see only those that are available online. Visitors may also filter by content type, document type, or language
