This page captures some of the research activities undertaken by our Organisation.  The researches are at various stages of maturity.  For ease of navigation around the web site, we have grouped related topics of a given Town or District by its name most often searched by scholars or researchers alike.   In the above boxes we have listed Towns where our Organisation contributed to the preservation of "things of Chinese Heritage".

 

For the interest of visitors, we share with you our Research Programme.  If your interests coincide with ours, we welcome you contacting us as there is nothing more satisfying than sharing.
