《松鶴天地》 是中僑互助會出版的免費中文月刊 《中僑新天地》 的前身，由一群長者義工於一九八五年十月在溫哥華創立。初期刊物旨在為華裔移民長者提供中文資訊，以彌補語言障礙、文化差異及代溝帶來的人際疏離與資訊落差，並鼓勵長者積極參與社區生活，享受豐盛晚年。作為擁有四十年歷史的刊物， 《松鶴天地》 不僅反映了華裔年長移民的社區需求與生活模式，更呈現了他們經常被忽略的珍貴面貌——對文化傳統的認同與堅持、對移居生活的彈性與智慧，以及自助助人的義工精神——讓人一窺這個社群蘊藏的巨大能量。
《松鶴天地》 早年獲聯邦政府「新境界計劃」資助，後期成立「松鶴之友」組織，以籌款和社區支持方式維持出版，除了在大溫哥華地區免費派發，亦郵寄至加拿大其他城市及海外地區。此次數碼化計劃涵蓋《松鶴天地》創刊首10年，即從1985年10月至1994年12月間，共111期的實體報刊。
Evergreen News (中僑新天地 Can: zung1 kiu4 san1 tin1 dei6 / Man: zhōng qiáo xīn tiān dì，formerly 松鶴天地 Can: cung4 hok2 tin1 dei6 / Man: sōng hè tiān dì）is S.U.C.C.E.S.S.’s free Chinese-language monthly newsletter. Founded in October 1985 in Vancouver by a group of senior volunteers, the publication was created to provide Chinese-language information for senior Chinese immigrants, bridging social isolation and information gaps caused by language barriers, cultural differences, and generational divides. It also encouraged seniors to actively participate in community life and enjoy a fulfilling life.
Spanning over forty years, Evergreen News not only reflects the community needs and lifestyles of senior Chinese immigrants but also showcases their often-overlooked qualities: cultural pride and continuity, flexibility and wisdom in adapting to a new life, and a strong spirit of volunteerism — offering a window into the immense energy of this community.
In its early years, the magazine received support from the federal New Horizons Program, and later, the Friends of Evergreen News was established to maintain the publication through fundraising and community support. This digitization project covers the first ten years of Evergreen News, from October 1985 to December 1994, encompassing a total of 111 print issues.
