CINARC Analyzes Artifacts in Victoria's CERA Building

This May after the WCILCOS conference, several of us ferried from Vancouver, BC to Victoria for a brief but thrilling visit to the first building of the Chinese Empire Reform Association, the guests of Ian and Wendy Sutherland, owners of this beautifully restored building. 

Examining the time capsule. 

Baohuanghui historians Robert Worden and his wife Norma Chue, Evelyn Hu-DeHart, and Jane Leung Larson were fortunate to be joined by Ben Bronson and Chuimei Ho of the Chinese in Northwest America Research Committee (CINARC).  Ben and Chuimei's  report on items found in the building's time capsule and the large donor plaque (with identities of the largest donors, including Kang Youwei) can be found at New Finds at the Empire Reform Association Headquarters .
