Chinese Canadian Genealogy

The Vancouver Public Library in the partnership of the Chinese Canadian Historical Society of British Columbia has developed a Chinese Canadian genealogy website, launched November 16, 2005.

The obvious public need to learn more about Chinese genealogy gave the Vancouver Public Library the impetus to create a special website and to invite CCHSBC to participate in its creation. The first meeting between the VPL and CCHSBC was held in May, with subsequent meetings held both in person and by e-mail until the launch. The contents of the website are from workshop material regularly conducted by the genealogy librarian, Janet Tomkins.

Thanks to Larry Wong of CCHSBC for the project announcement.
