San Francisco Chinese Exclusion List
Description:
This is an index to over 5,000 "Chinese Exclusion" case files among the immigration investigation files created by the San Francisco District Office of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, ca. 1903-1944.
Most of the case files document the arrival into San Francisco from the U.S. mainland or foreign ports of Chinese aliens and the reentry of U.S. citizens of Chinese ancestry under the Chinese Exclusion Acts passed by Congress between 1882 and 1930, and repealed in 1943. There are also some case files relating to the arrival and departure of non-Chinese Asian immigrants and other foreign-born individuals.
The case files are available from the Pacific Region (San Francisco) of the National Archives and Records Administration, 1000 Commodore Drive, San Bruno, California 94066-2350.
