• Become a resource portal for scholars, researchers, and others interested in activities of the Chinese overseas.
  
  
• Encourage greater co-ordination and partnership among Singapore-based libraries, research centres and community organizations, and among similar bodies in other parts of the world to promote information sharing on the Chinese overseas.
  
  
• Promote awareness and appreciation of the cultural heritage of the ethnic Chinese through the preservation and collection of rare documents and related information.
