Chinese in California Virtual Collection: Selections from the Bancroft Library

The materials selected are drawn from a variety of archival collections, compiled by institutions and libraries with varying missions. Major issues explored in these records include the Chinese contribution to California and the American West in the 19th and early 20th centuries; the rampant anti-Chinese sentiment encountered by these immigrants, eventually leading to the federal Chinese Exclusion Act of 1892 (repealed in 1943); and settlement and development in various communities, including San Francisco's Chinatown, which remains the largest Chinatown in the United States.
