Collection Description

Chinese Canadian Research Collection / Edgar Wickberg (collector). – 1885-1979,

1984-1996.

7.53 m of textual records and other materials.

Administrative History

The Chinese Canadian Collection grew out of a number of Research projects

undertaken by three UBC 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.

Scope and Content
