Yale-China seeking objects for archival collection
June 29, 2010

Yale-China has selected Ming Thompson (YC 2004, Yali Middle School 2004-2006) to serve as Yale-China's first Design and Curatorial Fellow to curate an exhibit about Yale-China to be held at the Museum of Chinese in America in Chinatown, New York from September 1 - October 11, 2010.

Ming and our team of summer associates are undertaking the ambitious task of digging through 100+ years of archival materials, including photographs, audio tapes, and footage. We are taking this opportunity to update Yale-China's archival collection, which is held at Yale's Sterling Memorial Library.

We need your Yale-China materials! We are looking for objects related to Yale-China for our archival collection and possibly to feature in the exhibit. Potential objects might include keepsakes, photographs, slides, books, and film. If you think you might have something of interest, please contact Ming at 203-432-0881 or at ming.thompson@aya.yale.edu
