Description: A catalogue with some digitized samples of Chinese language historical records preserved in British Columbia. From the About page (2003-03-07): "In response to the growing interest of researchers and the community in general, Asian Library, Centre for Chinese Research, UBC and David Lam Centre, SFU began to develop a database in the spring of 2000, which now includes over 11,000 entries contributed by 12 resource centres and 6 pioneer families across the province. Our aim is to develop a comprehensive inventory, searchable on the Web by keywords in Chinese, English and Pinyin. We also offer advice on options for preservation so that information is not lost with the memory of those involved or decay of materials."
