The purpose of this blog is to showcase the variety of information found in the Chinese Exclusion Act case files and to give guidance on how to locate information in the files. The focus is the files at the National Archives-Seattle from Record Group 85 pertaining to Seattle, Port Townsend, and Sumas, Washington; and Portland, Oregon. Although these files are located in Seattle, the subject of the file may have lived anywhere in the United States.
