THE CHINESE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (CHSSC) was organized in 1975 to bring together people with a mutual interest in the important history and historical role of Chinese and Chinese Americans in Southern California; pursue, preserve and communicate knowledge of this history; and promote the heritage of the Chinese and Chinese American community in support of a better appreciation of the rich, multicultural society of the United States. The historical society was established to discover and recognize our pioneers and their history. CHSSC strives to increase awareness of Chinese American heritage through public programs, education and research.
