Donation to CHSA Collections
Due to the high volume of offers made to CHSA and limited storage facilities, all potential collections donations must be made in writing first. Please include the following in your letter: description of the item, photograph of the item, history of the item (time frame and what it was used for), pertinence to Chinese American history, and donor's information and background. This basic information will help CHSA determine the item's suitability for inclusion into the permanent collection. We are sorry that we cannot accept all collections donations that are offered to us. If you have any questions please contact Jeannie Woo, Collections Manager, at (415)-391-1188 for more information.
