The Chinese Historical Society of America (CHSA) promotes the contributions and legacy of the Chinese in America through its exhibitions, publications, and educational and public programs in the Museum and Learning Center. They are housed in the landmark Julia Morgan-designed Chinese YWCA building in San Francisco, CA.

They offer tours of the Museum and the surrounding Chinatown community for a nominal charge. They have extended their reach with online exhibits through their main portal chsa.org, and sharing information, photographs, and news through social media. They have also opened our doors to collaborations with others who want to share their stories and experiences through film screenings, book readings, presentations, workshops, panel discussions and so much more. When founded in 1963, there were fewer than 250,000 people of Chinese descent living in the US and CHSA was a lone voice for the study and dissemination of the history of this segment of the US population. Today, as the number of Chinese in the US has risen to nearly 4 million, CHSA strives to be a responsible steward of the remarkable narrative of this rapidly growing and increasingly visible community.

The CHSA is located at 965 Clay Street, San Francisco, CA 94108.
