The Filipino American National Historical Society (FANHS) was created out of a need to document Filipino American history for succeeding generations. Before Dorothy Laigo Cordova and her husband Fred Cordova took up the task, there was a paucity of information available about the Filipino American community's history in the United States. ==History== Founded on 26 November 1982 in Seattle, Washington, the Filipino American National Historical Society (FANHS) is a community-based organization whose mission is “to promote understanding, education, enlightenment, appreciation, and enrichment through the identification, gathering, preservation, and dissemination of the history and culture of Filipino Americans in the United States” with the goal “...to preserve, document, and present Filipino American history and to support scholarly research and artistic works which reflect that rich past...” FANHS was first chartered in Washington State on 7 January 1985. The national office and archives are housed in Seattle, operating year-round to lend expertise and support to twenty-eight chapters across the United States. It is recognized as the primary informational resource on Filipino Americans for: * community organizations * primary and secondary schools, colleges, and universities * local and national museums and historical associations * independent authors, playwrights, and filmmakers * teachers, students, and scholars The first board of trustees was elected with 27 members from 12 states on 1 November 1986. In the same year, Fred Cordova, who was the founding president of FANHS, created the National Pinoy Archives. Dorothy Cordova is the founder and serves as executive director. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Filipino American National Historical Society」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
