CHSA Presentation: Sojourning in Gold Mountain

A special exhibition at the Hong Kong Museum of History explores the experiences of Overseas Chinese in California from the 19th century to the mid-20th century. Spanning over 8,000 square feet, the exhibition features more than 170 artifacts—many never before seen—sourced from Fiddletown, Marysville, Hanford, the Chee Kung Tong, the Chinese Historical Society of America (CHSA), and other sites across California. Through these objects, the exhibition tells powerful stories of Chinese emigrants, from the era of the Gold Rush and Chinese Exclusion to the lesser-known history of Bone Repatriation.

Exhibit curator Dr. Sonia Ng will present its highlights, with a focus on the significance of artifacts on loan from CHSA.
