Chinese Historical Society
This is the oldest and largest organization for documentation, study, and presentation of Chinese American history, including immigration, early communities, and labor history (for example railroads).[1] [2]
CHSA has a significant collection of art and artifacts, and some collections are displayed online.
The Chinese Railroad Workers were recently inducted into the Labor Hall of Fame, and a descendant of these workers was present at the ceremony. The Central Pacific Railroad used 12,000 Chinese workers to carve a road through the Sierra Nevada. There is also an online exhibit about these workers.
