Over time, there will be posts to this website which provide hints and helpful information about researching Chinese-Australian history, including family history. These will be found under the Research category.
If you are just starting out your research, you might like to have a look at the Resources pages of the website, which will list relevant books, articles, databases and other useful things.
Research inquiry service
CAHS has a volunteer research inquiry service to help you in your pursuit of Chinese-Australian history. We can offer you two things in response to your inquiry:
- Some general pointers on where you might be able to find information and resources relevant to your research
- A post on your behalf to the ‘Can you help?’ section of this website
To make an inquiry, send an email to research.cahs@gmail.com. In your email you should be as specific as possible about your research question, including details such as full names of your research subjects, places they lived and other research you have already done.
If you are just wanting general information about Chinese-Australian history there are lots of books and websites that provide good background reading – see the Resources section of this website.
