Filipino American National Historical Society (FANHS) was founded on 26 November 1982 in Seattle, Washington, by Dorothy Laigo Cordova and her husband Fred Cordova. The organization states that its mission is “to promote understanding, education, enlightenment, appreciation, and enrichment through the identification, gathering, preservation, and dissemination of the history and culture of Filipino Americans in the United States” with the goal of preserving and documenting Filipino American history.

FANHS was first chartered in Washington on 7 January 1985. The national office and archives are housed in Seattle. The first board of trustees was elected with 27 members from 12 states on 1 November 1986. In the same year, Fred Cordova created the National Pinoy Archives. Dorothy Cordova served as executive director.

Past projects include the video Filipino Americans Discovering Their Past for the Future,[1] the pictorial essay Filipinos: Forgotten Asian Americans;[2] and various regional publications and photo exhibits. FANHS also contributed significantly to the Smithsonian traveling exhibit Singgalot: The Ties That Bind, which documents the history of Filipino Americans in the US.[3]

Filipino American History Month

Under the leadership of Fred Cordova, FANHS established Filipino American History Month (FAHM) in 1992.[4] Since then, FAHM has been recognized by several states including New York,[5] California,[6] Hawaii,[7] Minnesota,[8] and Arkansas.[9] In 2009, the U.S. Senate and Congress proclaimed October as Filipino-American History Month.[10] In 2015 and 2016, President Obama officially recognized FAHM in October with a celebration in the White House.[11]

Biennial National Conferences

Since 1987, FANHS has sponsored national conferences (later ratified as a biennial event) where people gather to share and present research, network with other Filipino Americans, and honor those who have produced innovative work in the field of historical research and analysis.[12] Past conference host cities include: Seattle (1988), New Orleans (1990), Sacramento (1992), Chicago (1994), San Francisco (1996), and New York City (1998).[12]
