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.

该项目旨在揭示中国在澳大利亚经济活动的社会和文化意义。它记录了中国移民在限制非白人移民和劳动力的条件下所追求的企业，试图提供这些移民用于追求集体经济利益的战略的第一个国家帐户。需要大量的数据来揭示这一点。法庭档案将被用来调查中国的农业和汇款经济，重新集中在澳大利亚华人在国家的历史。其好处包括这些记录的数字化，预计将形成一个主要的在线档案，供后代和未来的研究人员访问，他们的经济活动支撑了澳大利亚的繁荣。
