We promote the study of expatriate life from a wide range of perspectives. Our definition of ‘expatriate’ is anyone who lives temporarily in a country other than their ‘home’ country.

Our collection holds expat life stories in the forms of diaries, letters, documents, photographs and more. These materials can be used for qualitative and quantitative research. We are in the process of adding a collection of academia as well as a digital blog archive. Because of the confidentiality extended to our donors, research of our physical collection must be done on our premises. Read our Collecting Policy.
