This is a fabulous collection of artifacts related to Chinese immigration to British Columbia. Although most of the artifacts are not online, there is a lengthy video interview with Dr. Wallace Chung, the collector, and detailed historical background to the collections. The collection goes far beyond Chinese immigration to encompass the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway and early voyages to the Pacific Northwest.
