Connected in the Vault
- His own TAH encyclopedia records sit in the vault: [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/69-prof-fong-yong-tsai||TAH #69 encyclopedia profile (published 2018-09-04)]] and [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/whos-who-602-fong-yong-tsai||TAH #602 encyclopedia profile]].
- The vault also holds [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/collection-of-prof-fong-yong-tsai||TAH #28 — Collection of Prof. Fong-yong Tsai 蔡芳洋教授的收藏]] (published 2017-07-11), a T.A. Archives record of his collection.
- 2026-09-14 (DEEPEN-X09112200-19): cross-link re-check — his institutions (Taipei Medical, Thomas Jefferson, Albany, USC Keck, UMKC, Allegheny/Hahnemann, UC Irvine) have no vault pages and stay plain text; the TAKC and NATPA Southern California chapter links above both resolve.

- Institutional context at UC Irvine (Professor and Chairman 2000–2006, Professor 2007–2011): the vault holds |Taiwanese American Organization at UC Irvine (context only — no link to Tsai recorded).
- Reciprocity check: neither the |TAKC page nor the |NATPA Southern California Chapter page currently echoes his presidencies; those terms stay sourced solely from his TAH employment table.
