Additional Sources

This website has introduced only a small number of key resources for Chinese-Canadian genealogy. Additional information and clues about your family may be found in many other sources, some of which are in public repositories:

Museums and Archives
Museums and archives collect primary, unpublished materials, such as birth, marriage and death certificates, military records, and a wide variety. Records from several archival collections have been cited in this section. This page provides lists and links to other archival records that may be useful to Chinese-Canadian historians and genealogists.

Libraries
Libraries collect published materials, such as newspapers and directories. This page provides basic information to help you get started on finding additional resources in libraries across Canada.
