This collection of 12,500 items documents the nineteenth and early twentieth century Chinese immigration to California and the West. Included in the collection is much that reflects the social life, culture, and commerce of these immigrants. The primary source materials include photographs, original art, cartoons and other illustrations; letters, diaries, business records, and legal documents; as well as pamphlets, broadsides, speeches, sheet music, and other printed matter. Although necessarily selective, such a large body of materials presents a full spectrum of representation and opinion, thus making accessible a "critical mass" of original source materials to support research and teaching, analysis, interpretation, and application to current immigrant situations.
