Description: In May 2000, he Asian Library at the University of British Columbia, in collaboration with the Institute of Asian Research, hosted this photograph exhibition to celebrate Asian Heritage Month. This collection, composed of 96 photographs, included images from three immigration periods; Chinese refugees from Mainland China to Hong Kong, Chinese Refugees from Vietnam to Hong Kong, and the “boat people” who arrived in British Columbia from China in 1999. A collection of photographs about these migrants began to take shape in the Asian Library in 1999, with two generous donations. This collection has been developed to support research on Chinese migration, as well as to document the recent arrival of these migrants to British Columbia’s shores. By exhibiting these otherwise dispersed images of individuals whose stories were often presented to the public in different manners, the Asian Library hopes to give them a “voice” and add a human face to these issues. This collection provides snapshots of their experiences and aids in revealing the circumstances behind these immigration periods.
