Institutions such as libraries, archives, museums and other areas of documented history use ethnic archiving to document immigration and ethnicity in the U.S. and Canada. However, the issue of using ethnic archiving as historical practice and research begins to impact archivists in terms of create a challenge to record historical documentation. Specifically regarding the impact of ethnic archivists on the very ethnicity and cultural heritages they are trying to preserve and study, archival science is explored in terms of new archival methods and intent.
