Many federal records are invaluable for Chinese history and later Chinese American family history.
Avery Lowell explains a “record group…preserves the organizational and contextual integrity of the records” (Lowell, Chinese Immigration and Chinese in the United States, NARA, Information Paper, 1996).
Most records begin with the passing of the Exclusion Act in 1882 and go forward to the 1990s. Before that time ( 1850 -1882) Chinese migrants were not part of federal law. Legal information was recorded
through state, county, and municipal officials and police or other law enforcement departments. Some indexing has been done on federal records but budgeting is not pointed in that direction.
