Mass. Memories Road Show: Chinese Immigration Experience
ABOUT
The Chinese Historical Society of New England (CHSNE) is partnering with UMass Boston’s
Mass. Memories Road Show (MMRS) to collect memories of Chinese Immigration Experiences
in Massachusetts. On June 2, 2018, we will invite the public to bring family photos to be scanned
and added to UMass and CHSNE’s digital archives. Contributors will be invited to share “the
story behind the photos” on video, have their own “keepsake photo” taken, and receive advice
from professional archivists and historians on dating and caring for their family photos. A
planning committee led by CHSNE and representatives from greater Boston will organize and
publicize the event.
