Scattered Legacy 澳華僑海集珍 brings together hundreds, and eventually thousands, of items to not only share their history but also connect it to a diverse range of thematic essays. These essays guide you on a journey to explore Australia’s rich and varied Chinese Australian heritage and history.
Thousands of priceless treasures from Chinese Australian history are scattered across Australia, waiting to be discovered (or rediscovered). From dusty old artifacts in local museums to hidden gems in the hands of descendants, the history of the Chinese in Australia is both fascinating and far-reaching.
The Chinese Australian Historical Society’s ground breaking Scattered Legacy project has commenced the task of uncovering the hidden depths of Australia’s rich Chinese heritage.
Scattered Legacy is pleased to be a National Foundation for Australia-China Relations grant recipient and is also supported by Western Sydney University’s Institute for Australian and Chinese Arts and Culture.
We hope you will support Scattered Legacy as it unearths the secrets of the past and reveals the true extent of the Chinese influence on Australian history. If you know of items (artifacts, documents, images, sites, etc) relevant to Chinese Australian history please don’t hesitate to notify us.
Scattered Legacy is made possible with the support of our sponsors
