The Chinese American Heritage Network (CAHN) held its 2nd conference on August 16 at the Chinese Historical Society of America (CHSA) in San Francisco. The network of more than eighteen heritage locations has come together to recognize the historical presence of early Chinese American pioneers who came to mine the gold mountains, build the railroads and levees, and labored invisibly in many trades that helped build this great state. Officers were elected, and members shared current projects, opportunities, and concerns. Denise Lee, from Mendocino, introduced XRTour, an augmented and virtual reality application created by CHSA with grant funding by the National Archives and National Historical Publications and Records Commission. Dr. Chris Jochim, CHCP VP of Education, presented CHCP's self-guided XRTour of Market Street Chinatown which will be released later this year.
