At the heart of this purely online experience will be a repository that will collect, document and present chinese american stories from around the nation, including text, images and multimedia--and incorporate them into moca's collections. It will create a vibrant online community that also redefines the nature and capacity of a cultural history museum as a center for preserving human stories, not just objects.
