Rising Dragon
The history of Chinese Canadians in Windsor was
never officially documented until the Windsor Chinese Community sponsored
the RISING DRAGON: Chinese Canadians in Windsor exhibit displayed
at Windsor’s Community Museum. This exhibit brought together
pieces of information from the recollections of people who have knowledge
of the past and from artifacts and photographs that have been past
down through generations. The virtual museum will attempt to capture
the essence of the physical exhibit, expand its accessibility and
utilize media applications to serve the community for years to come. |
