Libraries, museums and resource centres in Canada are major forces driving the recovery, creation, organization, promotion and research of materials about Chinese-Canadians. The dynamics and complex links between institutional efforts to manage archival materials for learning and research and the preservation of family histories by community members for posterity are studied on a number of levels, one of which is the reconstruction of the identities of Chinese overseas.
Eleanor Yuen is Head of the Asian Library, UBC and a board member of the Centre for Chinese Research Management Committee in the Institute of Asian Research. She developed the Historical Chinese Language Materials in British Columbia www.hclmbc.org web page and researched on Chinese-Canadian name forms, geographic names registered in the Head Tax Registers and major family archives. She is invited to participate as the representative of Canada at the 4th International Conference of Institutes and Libraries for Chinese Overseas Studies this coming May
