Project of Outstanding Taiwanese Americans:

We would like to have your support in recommending outstanding Taiwanese Americans to us.

Followings are three major criteria for being considered as an outstanding T. A.:

Make significant services and contributions to T. A. Community
Make significant services and contributions to main stream society
Establish good reputation in professional fields

You can nominate yourself for our consideration too. After being accepted by the Selection Committee of T. A. Archives, we will post it on our website and display a poster in the Outstanding T. A. Room.

Google Taiwanese American History from T. A. Archives:

We are also collecting and putting together the information of following subjects related to T. A. History in the past 7 decades:

Out-Reach Projects to Main Stream Society (主流社會的公益活動)
Supporters’ Groups and Fundraising Parties to Politicians in the U. S. and in Taiwan ( 競選後援會和募款集會).
Fundraising Parties for Natural Disasters Happened Worldwide (為世界各地天災的募款)
Power Walking and Running for Advocating Specific Purposes (為推廣特定目的而舉辦的健走或跑步活動)
Street Demonstrations and Marches Against Specific Organizations and Individuals (對特定團體或個人的街頭示威及遊行)

If you have information, flyers, banners and artifacts related to the above subjects, please give or donate to T. A. Archives.

With your support, we hope that anyone Google information about T. A. history, it will be found in the T. A. Archives’ website.

Rooms for Displaying following Publications and Artifacts:

Photos, Videos, DVDs and Tapes of T. A. organizations and individuals
Publications, such as annual journals, newsletters, flyers etc… by Taiwanese American Association (台灣同鄉會)

When you are organizing your collections or moving to a new location, your items could be the treasurers to T. A. history. Please let us know whatever you have before throwing them away.

Book for “ My Stories”:

Please support us with the life-time stories or biographies of your family members, yourself and your T. A. friends for this book project. We are now in the preparation stage of this book.

Book for “ Our Journeys”:

We had added more articles to the draft copy posted on the website during last month. We are planning to complete the preparation of this book soon.
