- Description:
- A virtual exhibit of early Chinese residents in Montreal, QC. Montreal's Chinese community first established itself when workers came east after the completion of the railway. By 1888, there were about 30 Chinese men living in Montreal, but by the 1890s, families had also begun to settle in a nascent Chinatown. However, many of them left behind few records. Early Chinese in Montreal is an exhibit that has both a physical and digital component. Both are inspired by original research conducted by graduate students in one of Dr. Mary Chapman’s UBC English graduate seminars. The digital exhibit attempts to provide more longevity, interaction, and access to this original research.
