Collections

CHSA values the importance of our collections. Currently, as we continue our efforts in developing the collection capacity of nearly 22,000 Chinese and Chinese American historical artifacts, CHSA is currently not accepting donations of personal artifacts. Unsolicited objects shipped or brought to the Museum cannot be accepted and will be treated as abandoned property and potentially discarded.

Additionally, to better serve you, we are pausing all requests to view our collections at this current time while we work on our collections modernization project.

Thank you for your cooperation and support. We look forward to sharing with you and keeping you updated on our progress as we modernize our collections and archives.
