Singapore Federation of Chinese Clan Associations
The
Singapore Federation of Chinese Clan Associations (SFCCA) was established
in 1986. The Association Library has a collection of just over 20,000
volumes. The Library is built on the personal collection of the late Professor
Xu Yunqiao. This has been expanded through targeted purchases, and donations
from Singapore and overseas organizations. Additional donations have also
been received from a number of other Chinese Singaporeans, Nan Chiau High
School, Chinese Embassy, and others.
The Federation
Library aims to collect and preserve valuable resource materials for the
Chinese community and to provide information for academic research and
other needs. Apart from materials relating to Singapore's Chinese community,
the Association Library is notable for its collection of commemorative
editions, minutes and related reports of clan associations, school magazines,
and works on local Chinese culture, beliefs and practices.
