Photo: Anna May Wong Certificate of Identity (detail), August 28, 1924; National Archives at San Francisco (54099). Photographs as proof of identity first came into widespread use as a result of Chinese Exclusion. Starting in 1909, all Chinese entering or residing in the U.S. were required to carry a government-issued Certificate of Identity at all times. Even babies and well-known figures, such as actress Anna May Wong, were subject to the law.

To support Chinese Historical Society of America’s newest groundbreaking exhibition
This groundbreaking exhibition explores the centuries-long history of trade and immigration between China and the United States and raises the question “What does it mean to be an American?” Extending from the late eighteenth century to the present, and including all regions of the country, the exhibition interprets the Chinese American experience as a key part of American history.
