Project Ngoc (PN): Nga Nicole Nguyen, 1996-1997 co-chair, has donated the organization’s archives on behalf of PN.

Included in the collection are PN’s records and correspondence, photographs, slides, and videotapes of refugee camps and advocacy activities in the United States, published and unpublished materials from human rights and refugee organizations, and newspaper articles from the South China Morning Post. A distinctive part of the donation is PN’s collection of paintings and drawings by refugee artists in the camps.
