Title:
[Photographs of Hakka or Cantonese Chinese women in America]Abstract:
Snapshots and studio portraits taken in China and in the San Francisco Bay Area. Depicted are Chinese and Chinese-American
women who are chiefly unidentified. Some photographs are annotated in Chinese, and a few have brief notations in English.
Relationships among individuals pictured are not made clear, and it is uncertain whether these images are relations and friends
of a single family or individual, or whether images might have been compiled from various sources. Photographs range from
small identification or passport photographs to small snapshots to larger formal studio portraits. Includes several portraits
of Chinese American beauty queens. apparently from the Miss Chinatown USA contest. Several portraits of men are also present.

Family photographs of a Chinese American family of California (BANC PIC 1999.088 PT. 1), but at a slightly later date. It
is unclear whether the material originated with the same family.
