HA NOI (VNS) — An institute for family research has been established in HCM City, based upon a similar centre performing research on family histories set up by scholar Vo Ngoc An and colleagues.

The centre was established in 1994 and has completed 150 histories for families, as well as a book for training those collecting family histories.

The newly established institute, which is based at 275B Pham Ngu Lao Street, District 1, HCM City, is chaired by Prof Mac Duong and Hoang Van Le, PhD.

The first-ever workshop on studying family histories will be organised by the institute at 272 Vo Thi Sau Street, District 3, HCM City, on August 29. — VNS
