The Chinese Newcomers Study (1969-1970) was commissioned by the Bay Area Social Planning Council (BASPC) and coordinated by a fourteen-person volunteer committee. The study committee researched topics such as health, employment, education, and law relating to Chinese immigrants in San Francisco. They published a formal report with their recommendations in 1971. This collection contains research, working papers, and other documents.
