28. Rebuilding the scattered legacy of Chinese Australian history

The Scattered Legacy project is a digital archive that brings together the scattered treasures and history of Chinese Australians. Drawing on material from private collections, regional museums, archives, and families, it creates a national database linking objects, people, places, and historical themes. Rather than being just a catalogue, it shows how individual artefacts connect to larger stories of migration, community life, business, discrimination, and identity. The site includes historical essays, translated Chinese texts, biographies, and records ranging from immigration documents to commercial correspondence. By connecting these fragments of the past, Scattered Legacy not only help preserve the rich and complex contributions of the Chinese Australian community but helps make them accessible within a single searchable ecosystem.
