Founded in 1980 as the New York Chinatown History Project, the name eventually changed to Chinatown History Museum in 1991, and in 1995 to its present name. The Museum now celebrates its 17th anniversary with a name that reflects its national scope and mission to reclaim, preserve, and broaden understanding about the diverse history of Chinese people in the Americas. MoCA provides educational and community programs as well as research facilities on the fields of Chinese American and Asian American studies.
