Description Are you good with names? Figuring out faces? Recognizing places? Do you have interesting photos of early and/or present-day Chinese American communities in Southern California to share? If so, then come and join us on Photo Day, a free public event presented by the Chinese American Museum. Help us build our Photo Collection database while treating yourself to a pleasant walk down memory lane!

You can participate in Photo Day through one or both of the following:

Photo Identification
Various copies of the Museum’s Photo Collection will be displayed for public viewing. Help is needed in identifying the people, place, date, or occasion of each photograph so that they may be correctly labeled for exhibition.

Photo Donations
The Museum will be collecting photograph donations focusing on Southern California’s Chinese American communities from the 1850’s to the present, fitting the themes of immigration, community history, early enterprise, and Chinese American family photos. The donations can be originals or reprints and photo credits will be provided if used for exhibitions.

*Please note: Donations are not guaranteed to be used in exhibits.
