The Oregon Chinese Diaspora Project: Community Archeology, Public History, and the Search for Oregon's Early Chinese Residents
Chelsea Rose, MA, RPA 2 October, 2021 9:30 am - 11:00 am, PDT |
We invite you to join First Saturday PDX for our opening presentation of Season 2021 - 2022, and the continuation of our 20th anniversary.
This talk given by Chelsea Rose will focus on the award winning Oregon Chinese Diaspora Project (OCDP), which is a multi-agency collaboration focused on research and education on Chinese heritage across the state. To date the project has worked with state and federal agencies to uncover Chinese mining camps on the Malheur National Forest and Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest, Chinese railroad camps in southern Oregon, and communities like John Day, Ashland, and Jacksonville. This research has shed light on the lives of Chinese immigrants in rural communities, and their instrumental role in the developing infrastructure and economies in Oregon.
