Kenneth Y. Fung papers

This collection consists of personal and professional papers of Kenneth Y. Fung. These papers include personal and business correspondence (including letters by immigration lawyer Y. C. Hong and Chinese rights activist, educator, and newspaper editor Walter U. Lum), documents, notes, immigration case files, notebooks, sympathy cards, newspaper clippings, copies of U.S. Senate bills, photographs and negatives, books, objects, and art, from 1890 to 2004 and the bulk covering 1915 to Fung's death in 1952. Also included are materials related to the Chinese American Citizens Alliance from 1923 to 1943. The majority of the collection deals with Fung's immigration work as a lawyer and Chinese Americans' rights advocacy, but a lot of the collection is personal in nature and provides details about his personal life and the Fung family and their lives in San Francisco, Chinatown, and the surrounding Bay Area of California.
