This study explores community engagement in archival practices at Chulalongkorn University Memorial Hall in Thailand. The objective is to examine how the Archive engages with the community by applying Stevens, Flinn, and Shepherd's community engagement framework. The findings of document analysis, archival records, and secondary sources indicate that Chulalongkorn University Memorial Hall engages external communities in all five participatory areas. However, challenges such as limited documentation and underutilized collaboration opportunities remain.
