MOCA Treasures on the Road: Sonia Ng of China Alley Preservation Society

MOCA Treasures on the Road is an intimate conversation highlighting distinct artifacts, antiques, and collectibles held by members of the MOCA community from around the world. Guests share their special artifact and the stories behind them while engaging in conversation with an expert scholar or professional. The goal of this series is to bring out the depth and vastness of the Chinese American narrative to the MOCA community. MOCA Treasures captures stories of celebration, hardship, family travels, immigration, discrimination, diaspora, survival, success, and so much more. The latest edition of MOCA Treasures on the Road features Sonia Ng, Ph.D., the historian of the China Alley Preservation Society (Hanford, CA), a participating organization of MOCA’s current special exhibition Gathering: Collecting and Documenting Chinese American History. Dr. Ng, a scholar of Chinese and Chinese American history, spoke with Herb Tam, MOCA’s Curator and Director of Exhibitions, about the “China Alley”, a short street in downtown Hanford, California featuring 11 historic buildings including an original Quan Dai Temple that trace their roots back to 1880’s; its singular Chong Hou Tong Bone Repatriation Book (1903); and her own scholarly research.
