Oh, The Stories They Tell: Chinese Exclusion Acts Case Files at the National Archives & Records
Although the search for a Chinese Exclusion Act Case File may be difficult and challenging, the rewards can be great as these files may contain a treasure trove of information for the family and social historian. While limited to a specific ethnic group the richness of the records will have everyone scrambling to find a reason to use them.
