In the homes of many of Vancouvers oldest Chinese families, and in similar homes throughout the whole of Canada, hidden away in an upstairs closet or at the back of a drawer lies a box of papers that recount the trials and tribulations of Asian families who in the first half of the twentieth century decided to make this alien country their home. For most of that time they were not permitted to become Canadian citizens and were even threatened with having any land or property they had acquired taken away from them.
