Indiv iduals of Chinese heritage have been living and working in the Salem area since at least 1860. Despite this long history\, little research had been done to document and share their stories. Several community-wide projects in the past five years have been working to change that. A local advisory committee\, including historians\, members of Salem’s Chinese community\, representatives from the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association\, the Hoy Yin Association\, Friends of the Salem Pioneer Cemetery\, and Willame tte University helped advise an archaeological team in uncovering a funera ry table in Salem’s Pioneer Cemetery\, one of very few physical remnants o f the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century community.

Further research has helped name individuals\, fami lies\, and businesses and collect photos\, maps\, and data to help better tell this story in public programs\, articles\, and exhibits.
