Since 1976, the CHSSC has been offering free, public, monthly meetings with speakers and programs related to Chinese American and community history. Some of our own members are actively involved in historical and community research and have created enlightening and stimulating programs. In 1992, the CHSSC organized a National Chinese American Studies Conference at California State University, Los Angeles that involved speakers and scholars from all across the United States. More recently, we co-sponsored the Sixth Chinese American Conference held July 1999 in San Diego, CA.
