Chinese Culture Center of San Francisco

The Chinese Culture Foundation of San Francisco will use its IMLS award to support its In Search of Roots program, an annual internship in which 12 interns, ages 18–26, participate in research activities in preparation for a journey to visit their ancestral roots in the Guangdong Province of Southern China. The foundation will also archive 15 years of previous program materials and enhance its Villages Database to create a more user-friendly interface and provide a valuable public resource for genealogical research.
