Manchester Chinese Archive

Welcome to our Manchester Chinese archive website for North West, UK! We sincerely hope that our website will help you begin the exciting question of learning more about the Chinese ancestors. Here, you'll find information on Hong Kong, China, and Far East as well as a number of other resources dealing with immigration to other countries. The British Chinese peoples of China set down roots all across the globe, and as a result there are million of overseas Chinese descendants in such diverse places as Asia, Australia, United States, Canada, South American and European.

We invite you to visit the Manchester Chinese Archive website in order to start the search for your British Chinese ancestors. We always believe to cherish your ancestor's love nothing better then build a small archive for them. You'll find many of the invaluable resources that we use in order to solve our community's research problems. However, we find the British Chinese archive information is very limited due to lack off funding and support.

The Manchester Chinese Archive Founded in 2000 and based in Manchester, North West by group of volunteers. Our aims are to document and illustrate the religious, organizational, social, economic, political, cultural and family life of British Chinese in Manchester since the nineteen century. It provides a research facility and an educational resource for the British Chinese, and also the wider community, in order to heighten awareness of the British Chinese heritage in North West and to stimulate study of the history of the Chinese Community in Britain.

All our work is totally relaying on volunteers, there is only so far we can go; but we could build this website up gradually if we could include you to support our work. Please sign in as our member. We needed all your help to make this website work. Anyone is welcome to contribute work or material. Material as: personal papers, war medals, ceremonial keys, newspapers, magazines, trophies, plaques, paintings and sculptures photographs, oral history recordings, party type……etc. Please send it by post or drop it in our Centre. Article could entry it through our website.

At Manchester Chinese Centre we collect, preserve, and make available a wealth of archive material relating to the history of the Chinese Community in North West. The aim of this website is helping the young Chinese people to understand life, work and Chinese people in the past.
