Describes the construction and operation of a partnership between a large research university and an all-volunteer Chinese American museum aimed at extending the museum's ability to carry out its mission in real space hindered by a disastrous fire as well as cyberspace. Explains the community informatics approach which large ICT-rich universities and libraries can use in institutionalizing this type of work, which helps to complete the information revolution across all sectors of society and thereby levels up the knowledge society by working with the grassroots.
