Oh, the Stories They Tell: Chinese Exclusion Acts Case Files

William G. McGowan Theater
Online

Although the search for a Chinese Exclusion Act case file may be difficult and challenging, the rewards can be great as these files may contain a treasure trove of information for the family and social historian. In a live, interactive broadcast shown in the McGowan Theater and on YouTube, National Archives at Seattle Director Susan Karren discusses Chinese Exclusion Act records in recognition of the Chinese Exclusion Act’s 135th anniversary.
