The Geary Act Project
The mission of the Geary Act Project is to gather Certificates of Residence, the “yellow card” required of all Chinese in America by order of the 1892 Geary Act. We aim to collect these documents by asking for submissions and to exhibit them online.
​
The purpose of the project is to reveal a hidden chapter in American history about an unconstitutional act toward a race of people, with far reaching consequences: for truth and justice, for today, for all.
