• Biography/history note:The Chinese Canadian Collection grew out of a number of research projects undertaken by three University of British Columbia professors, Edgar Wickberg (History), Graham Johnson (Anthropology) and William Willmott (Sociology), which culminated in the publication of the book, From China to Canada: A History of the Chinese Community in Canada (1982). Part of a series of social histories devoted to the study of various ethnic groups in Canada, the book was published in association with the Dept. of the Secretary of State. Also contributing to the book and the background research were Harry Con (Vancouver Chinatown businessman) and R.J. Con who, until the time of his death, served with the Secretary of State. The gathering of the material in this collection began with some interviews in the late 1960s. In the early 1970s, the group received two major multi-year grants from the Secretary of State to prepare a history of the Chinese in Canada and from the Canada Council to study the organizational adaptation of Vancouver Chinese. It was in the conduct of these enquiries that most of the present collection, dating to 1979, was assembled. More recent, related materials were added later.
