Building a historical record of the Korean American community:
Funding for KQ's future ~ and for preserving our past through a digital archive
Help Korean Quarterly raise the remaining $4,000 needed to complete the Digital Archive, featuring all 98 quarterly issues
(published from 1997 to 2022)
Thank you for considering Korean Quarterly for your annual Give to the Max Day donation.
The roots of KQ
Korean Quarterly is a non-profit media organization, based in Minnesota, created by a diverse group of Korean Americans and allies who cofounded this unique newspaper in 1997.
Korean Quarterly is made by a village of volunteer contributors, from seasoned Korea-watchers, photographers, and artists, to beginning writers who believe they have something to say.
Building a historical record of the Korean American community
Over the last three years, KQ has funded and launched the Korean Quarterly Archive to preserve each of the 98 quarterly issues, dating back to 1997. This work is ongoing, but the archive is live now, from the last print edition published in 2022, back to 1999. (updating the archive is slow, librarian-like work!)
To use it, just go to the archive link on the website and look up a favorite Korean American author, celebrity, locally famous Korean Minnesotan, or even a Korean American event or Korean recipe.
Continuing excellent quality independent journalism in uncertain times ~ Korean Quarterly continues to produce news, feature stories, opinion writing (and some fun stuff) on our online edition (www.koreanquarterly.org).
At a time when independent local journalism is fast disappearing, KQ has continued its mission, thanks to its many determined volunteers. Please continue to support this ongoing voice of the Korean American community.
Help put KQ’s 25-year history online
There are many hundreds of pages in the archive now, with only two year’s worth of issues left to go. With your help, we can complete this giant project!
Support this community journalism project on Give to the Max Day. You can also give an end-of-year tax-deductible gift at any time on our website. Thank you, KQ family!
