Author(s): Chen, Jeannie Yujing | Advisor(s): Gilliland-Swetland, Anne J. | Abstract: This thesis seeks to examine archival representations of Chinese in America in collections dating from before and during the Chinese Exclusion Era (1860 – 1943), both in mainstream institutional archives/special collections repositories and in smaller community-based archives. Using critical race theory as methodological framework and an interpretivist case study approach, this exploratory study shows a continued lack for transparency surrounding archival description and archival representations within such collections, an uneven distribution of resources across institutions that collect and preserve materials on early Chinese in America, the difficulties of balancing evolving terminologies and changing archival descriptive standards/technology, and the need for collaboration among bibliographers, catalogers, archivists, historians and activists in creating archival descriptions in collections about the Chinese in America. Due to the paucity of current archival studies scholarship on early Chinese in America, this work intends to highlight the presences (or lack of presence) of Chinese in America in various archives and to enhance awareness of their historical influences and contributions within archival records. Such an understudied subject poses an especially significant area of research for future professional and scholarly work in the library and information sciences field.

作者(s): Chen, Jeannie Yujing | 顾问:Gilliland-Swetland, Anne J. | 摘要:本论文旨在研究华人在排华时代(1860 – 1943 年)之前和期间在美国的档案表现,包括主流机构档案馆/特殊馆藏库和较小的社区档案馆。使用批判种族理论作为方法论框架和解释主义案例研究方法,这项探索性研究表明,围绕此类馆藏中的档案描述和档案表现仍然缺乏透明度,在收集和保存美国早期华人资料的机构之间资源分布不均,平衡不断发展的术语和不断变化的档案描述标准/技术的困难,书目编目员、编目员、档案员、历史学家和活动家之间需要合作,在美国华人馆藏中创建档案描述。由于目前美国早期华人档案研究奖学金的缺乏,这项工作旨在突出华人在美国各种档案中的存在(或缺乏),并提高对他们在档案记录中的历史影响和贡献的认识。对于图书馆和信息科学领域未来的专业和学术工作来说,这样一个研究不足的学科是一个特别重要的研究领域。由于目前美国早期华人档案研究奖学金的缺乏,这项工作旨在突出华人在美国各种档案中的存在(或缺乏),并提高对他们在档案记录中的历史影响和贡献的认识。对于图书馆和信息科学领域未来的专业和学术工作来说,这样一个研究不足的学科是一个特别重要的研究领域。由于目前美国早期华人档案研究奖学金的缺乏,这项工作旨在突出华人在美国各种档案中的存在(或缺乏),并提高对他们在档案记录中的历史影响和贡献的认识。对于图书馆和信息科学领域未来的专业和学术工作来说,这样一个研究不足的学科是一个特别重要的研究领域。
