Unlocking Australia’s Chinese archive: the political organisation and social experience of the Chinese Australian community, 1909-1939

通过将二战期间澳大利亚华人社区的组织和经验纳入澳大利亚的公民身份和公民参与历史，澳大利亚的社会和经济结构将得到加强。这将培养华人社区融入国家故事的意识，并将使非华裔澳大利亚人了解这个故事，从而促进多元文化澳大利亚的社会凝聚力。它还将阐明白澳政策对一个重要的少数群体的影响，这将使澳大利亚受益，因为它回应了这一政策的遗产。它还将加强澳大利亚对其与该地区华人侨民和中国的历史接触的理解。

Australia's social and economic fabric will be strengthened by incorporating the organisations and experiences of the inter-war Chinese Australian community into Australia's history of citizenship and civic participation. This will foster the Chinese community's sense of inclusion in the national story and will make that story available to non-Chinese Australians, thus contributing to the social cohesion in multicultural Australia. It will also illuminate the impact of the White Australia Policy on a significant minority group which will benefit Australia as it responds to the legacy of this policy. It will also strengthen Australia's understanding of its historical engagement with the regional Chinese diaspora and with China.
