Role in the Community

  • His legacy entered the movement record through his widow: his wife 廖明惠 authored his story for the TAH encyclopedia — [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/mystories644|TAH #644, 許財源—美國國防部軍事機密中的匿名英雄 (08/2018)]] — portraying him as an anonymous hero inside US Defense military-classified computer work at Control Data.
  • The couple jointly donated an archival collection to the archive: [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/collection-of-dr-tsaiyuan-terry-and-emily-hsu|TAH #68, Collection of Dr. Tsaiyuan (Terry) and Mrs. Emily Hsu 許財源博士和廖明惠夫婦的收藏]].
