新加坡南洋理工大学华裔馆画册丨CHC Bulletin No. 28

华裔馆成立于1995年5月。旨在增进世人对散居在世界各地华人社群的认识和了解。它是一个非盈利机构，由来自全球的杰出华人商界，学者及社会知名人士所组成的国际董事会指导其各项工作。华裔馆于2011年并入南洋理工大学，成为南大的一个自治及自给自立的机构, 其运作基金主要依靠个人和社会团体的慷慨捐赠以及政府一对一的匹配资助。

华裔馆集研究中心，博物馆和图书馆为一身，座落于前南洋大学行政楼。此建筑标志是当时海外华人自己集资兴建的独一无二的海外华文大学；今已被新加坡政府定为具有历史价值的国家保留文物之一。

Founded in 1995, the Chinese Heritage Centre (CHC) aims to advance knowledge and understanding of the ethnic Chinese communities in different parts of the world. Established as a non-profit organisation, the CHC's work is guided by an international Board of Governors. In 2011, the CHC has been reconstituted as an autonomous institute of Nanyang Technological University (NTU), depending almost entirely on fundraising from private donors and government 1:1 matching grants.

The CHC serves as a research centre, a museum, and a library. It is housed in the historic Administration Building of the former Nanyang University, which itself is a relic of the landmark establishment of the first and only Chinese-medium university outside China, founded by the Chinese overseas. It was gazetted as a National Monument on 18 December 1998.

Visitors will find it pleasant to simply admire the unique architecture of this building built in the 1950s, or take a stroll in the Yunnan Garden or by the Nantah Lake, adjacent to the CHC.
