Title
Almost Destroyed: Chinese Canadian records at Library and Archives Canada
Abstract
A century after the Chinese Exclusion Act introduced its requirement for mass registration, the records created in this hostile context are being used to pursue collective healing, grounded in the personal, painful work of recovering ancestors who lived through the shame and regret of exclusion in silence.
