The Roger S. Hong Collection spans the years 1936 to 2001 and consists primarily of drawings by Roger Hong, from the 1960s to 2001, but also includes earlier drawings of Los Angeles's New Chinatown (1936 to 1940s) by architects Erle Webster & Adrian Wilson. In the mid-1930s, all of Old Chinatown was torn down to make way for Union Station. Many of the displaced families and businesses went to the nearby 900 block of North Broadway and developed New Chinatown. The drawings by Webster & Wilson show the development of this historic area of Los Angeles through survey records, street plans and drawings for buildings for Y.C. Hong. The collection also includes Roger Hong's proposed revitalization plans for Chinatown, 1979 to 2001. These drawings and Hong's other professional work in this collection are primarily for commercial projects. One exception is the Y.C. Hong residence, a modern home designed while Hong was starting his professional career at Buff & Hensman and Associates, and constructed in 1969. The collection also includes samplings of Hong's professional work done while at various firms and in his capacity as private architectural consultant in the 1990s. Hong's childhood artwork and work done while he was a student at the University of Southern California are also part of the collection, including his Tau Epsilon Phi fraternity scrapbooks, 1960 to 1962.
