Funded Activity Summary

Chinese Business: economic and social survival in white Australia,1870-1940. This project aims to uncover the social and cultural significance of Chinese economic activity in Australia. Documenting enterprises that Chinese migrants pursued, under conditions that restricted non-white immigration and labour, it seeks to offer the first national account of the strategies these migrants used to pursue collective economic interests. Large datasets are needed to reveal this. Court archives will be used to investigate Chinese agricultural and remittance economies, re-centering Chinese Australians in the nation's history. Benefits include the digitisation of these records, expected to form a major online archive accessible to descendants and future researchers, whose economic activity buttressed Australian prosperity.
