There is an urgency to capture Chinese elders’ stories before they pass away or become incapable of recounting key lived experience of their extraordinary journeys of migration to Wales. The life stories, images and artefacts that will be collected, are key to telling the social history of the Wales based Chinese communities.
The Chinese In Wales Association has successfully been awarded a £100,000
National Lottery Heritage Fund grant to carry out a Wales-wide oral history project.
The findings of the project and raw material will be uploaded on to the online Peoples Collection and raw material archived within Museum Wales. This means that this invaluable history will live on for future generations.
