The Chinese in California, 1850-1925"This well-developed collection tells the story of Chinese immigration to California in the late 19th and early 20th century through approximately 8,000 images and pages of primary source materials. This fine brocade of ephemera includes letters, business records, legal documents, cartoons, photographs, and original art. These materials cover everything from family life to inter-ethnic tensions. San Francisco's Chinatown is the subject of special attention as well. First-time visitors should consider the Topical Overview area, which features galleries and essays such as 'Anti-Chinese Movements and Chinese Exclusion' and 'San Francisco's Chinatown-Business and Politics.' Additionally, visitors can browse the materials by subject, name, title, group, or theme. [Internet Scout Project]
