The article discusses an exhibition at the Chinese Canadian Museum called "The Paper Trail to the 1923 Chinese Exclusion Act." The exhibit focuses on the history of Chinese migrants in Canada and the impact of the Chinese Immigration Act, which banned Chinese migration to Canada. The exhibit features state-issued identity papers, known as Chinese Immigration certificates, and explores the experiences of Chinese migrants under the exclusionary immigration laws. The exhibit also highlights the personal stories and hardships of Chinese migrants and their families. The article emphasizes the importance of access to these records for the Chinese Canadian community and the need to remember and share these stories beyond the state documents.
