"Migration reshapes cultural landscapes by transporting traditions, memories, and identities across borders. Immigrants do not arrive in new societies as blank slates; they carry with them cultural practices that continue to shape their communities and relationships in diaspora. Through these practices, cultural heritage travels, adapts, and acquires new meanings within changing social environments. Among the many traditions that migrate with communities from western and central Asia, Nowruz occupies a unique place as a powerful cultural heritage and anchor that connects them to their roots and community. As one of the oldest continuously celebrated festivals in the world, Nowruz symbolizes renewal, rebirth, and the cyclical transformation of nature."
Collection
Part of Born Digital Monographic Reports and Papers
Princeton University Library's (PUL) instance of DSpace once served as a digital repository meant for both archiving and publicly disseminating at-risk digital data which was identified and collected by members of the PUL community. In 2025, all items from both categories were migrated to Figgy - PUL's digital repository.
