San Francisco Korean History Museum
“Every year, December is fundraising month for the SF Korean History Museum.”
The <San Francisco Korean History Museum> collects, systematically organizes, and stores immigration data (including the history of the independence movement) scattered in the Americas, centering on the SF/Bay Area, to provide information about Korea to Koreans as well as the general American society. It aims to inform the footsteps of culture and immigration history.
“If you remember it alone, it is an old story, but if you remember it together, it is history.” <SF Korean History Museum> has been working with this meaning, and the current director and director, advisory director, advisor, and external volunteers are working together. The board of directors and advisors are made up of professionals and ordinary people from all walks of life, all of whom are volunteers.
The museum, which started in February 2014, is currently sponsored by UC Berkeley Korean Studies professors in the academic world.
Directors: Eunkyung Jeong (Chairman), Claire Yoo, Yuhyeongseop Yoo, Junghyeon Lee, Inkyung Jeong, Heo John, Jonghyuk Lee, Jihae Yoon, Hyejeong Hong, Esra Jung, Jongae Jo, Nanju Kim, Jeon Hwayoung Jeon, Dongyeol Kim, Pangyeom Kim, Kyungnyeon Kim, Miyoung Lim
Advisors: Cha Man-jae, Hong Seon-pyo, Seo Hae-seong
San Francisco was the source of the first exchange with Korea, and there are not many people who know about it and left historical traces in many places. We ask that you join us in the purpose of the museum, which is to hand down valuable historical materials so that our descendants can live proudly with their identity in the United States.
