Hidden Histories
Hidden Histories: Oregon’s Early Chinatowns and Chinese Worker Settlements was organized and moderated by the Portland Chinatown Museum in partnership with the Oregon Chinese Diaspora Project in 2021, and highlights the the work of local curators, archivists, archaeologists, and historic preservationists from Oregon’s towns and cities, museums, universities, state parks and forests.
This program was made possible in part by a grant from Oregon Humanities, a statewide nonprofit organization and an independent affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, which funds Oregon Humanities’ grant program. For fifty years, Oregon Humanities has offered programs and publications that help Oregonians connect, reflect, and learn from one another.
