Chinese Business: economic and social survival in white Australia,1870-1940

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创办的企业，试图提供第一个关于这些移民追求集体经济利益的战略的国家账户。要揭示这一点，需要大量的数据集。法庭档案将用于调查中国的农业和汇款经济，重新定位澳大利亚华人的历史。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，可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。

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.
