The Philip P. Choy collection of California and the West consists of photographs, books, magazines & ephemera collected by
historian Philip Choy in the course of his research on Chinese immigration and settlement on the west coast, which forms the
Philip P. Choy Papers (https://searchworks.stanford.edu/view/13311530). This material was deemed more relevant to general
California and San Francisco history, although a few items do include Chinese American and Chinatown content (some of which
are duplicates). Likewise, some appropriate items remain with Choy's main papers. Subjects covered include the Gold Rush,
1906 Earthquake & Fire, and the Panama Pacific International Exposition.
