<p>This article examines how everyday family archiving practices shape family identity among Chinese American families. While archival scholarship has paid sustained attention to the relationship between archives and identity in institutional and community contexts, family archives remain comparatively undertheorized and are often subsumed within the broader category of personal archives. Drawing on qualitative interviews, object elicitation, and home-based observation, this study argues that family archives do not simply preserve a pre-existing sense of family identity. They actively participate in shaping how families understand themselves over time and across migration. To theorize this process, the article develops the concept of identity curation, defined as the ongoing, relational, morally inflected, and everyday archival work through which families selectively preserve, withhold, and display materials in ways that shape what may stand for the family, what is excluded from representing it, and how particular identities are made visible and sustained over time. The findings identify three interrelated dynamics that constitute this process: identity construction through inclusion, identity boundary-making through exclusion, and identity performance through display. By theorizing family archives as a distinct archival formation, this article extends archival discussions of identity beyond institutional and community settings and highlights the significance of intimate, relational, and everyday archival practices in the making of family self-understanding.</p>
