The Manilatown Heritage Foundation programming falls under three primary pillars: Manilatown Arts, Manilatown Archives and Manilatown Academy. As the stewards of San Francisco's Manilatown community and the 1977 International Hotel Eviction legacy, our organization maintains and makes accessible the Manilatown Archives of artifacts, media, documentation and oral histories related to both historic Manilatown and today's Manilatown community.
