Planning efforts to establish an inventory of the intangible cultural resources of San Francisco’s Chinatown. Community input would guide a documentation strategy and the creation of training and other materials to build a digital collection in the future.

The Chinese Culture Foundation of San Francisco (CCC) seeks a planning grant to develop the Chinatown Cultural Resilience Project. This Cultural Assets and Safeguarding planning project aims to inventory, collect and make accessible place-based intangible cultural assets, via oral history and/or multimedia record of key cultural assets currently threatened or recently lost due to escalating extreme weather events and the lasting impact of the COVID 19 pandemic.
