Innovative Exhibit Invites Chinese to Touch BC History

26 February 2013 – 15 April 2013

Who Am I? Bridging the Pacific from Guangdong to Barkerville and Back is a ground-breaking exhibit that fuses cutting-edge technology with history. Chinese citizens will have the opportunity to identify ancestors who journeyed to Barkerville, British Columbia, during the gold rush of the 1860s.

This innovative collection invites visitors to explore Barkerville’s extensive historic photographs of Chinese immigrants through over 60 panels of beautifully displayed photos and stories and two interactive computer kiosks.

At the kiosks, visitors will have the opportunity to fill in the blanks by identifying their ancestors as they swipe through the collection of 1400 images using a unique iPad interface.

“Barkerville’s extensive historic photographs, featuring many from the Chow Dong Hoy collection, are a rich catalogue of the Chinese population in Barkerville, and a testament to the significant contributions they made to the success of the town,” says curator Bill Quackenbush, “but we know little about them, who they were, and what their connections were to their families in China. This is our attempt to mitigate that as well as to inform them and the people of Guangdong of their ancestor’s role in the development of British Columbia.”

“As a National Historic Site of Canada and one of BC’s Heritage Properties, Barkerville has always prided itself on its ability to give a social context to our explanation of our history,” adds CEO Judy Campbell. “This combination of technology and history is one of those rare instances when innovation has the potential to bring us closer together. If we are able to identify even one of the subjects in this collection, this exhibit will be a resounding success.”

From Hong Kong, the exhibit will travel to the Guandong Overseas Chinese Museum in Guangzhou, with stops in other cities such as Taishan, Kaiping and Jiangmen.

Barkerville’s collections have an increasingly important role to play in building bridges between cultures and linking our past to our future. The historic town has been praised by Chinese officials for its excellence in preserving and presenting the history of the Chinese immigrants. The buildings, photographs and archival material tell stories that have been lost on the other side of the Pacific.
