General Register of Chinese Immigration: The UBC department of History recently indexed the General Register of Chinese Immigration. 

Microfilm

Between 1887-1923 Chinese people wishing to immigrate were required to pay a $500.00 tax. The records of these payments provide a wealth of information about the immigrants. The microfilmed records are organized by the date immigration certificates were issued. To view these microfilms, consult section 3-52 to 3-54 of the library’s guide: Canadian Family History Resources:  A Guide to the Materials Held at Cloverdale Library
