Abstract
DISCOVERY EVERY REMEMBRANCE DAY, Cecil Yip would polish his medals, put on his navy suit jacket and set off for Vancouver's Chinatown. In the years leading up to the act, the government was already issuing various certificates for Chinese residents in Canada, paperwork used for everything from identification to travel authorizations. "Everyone was going to get scooped up", explains Catherine Clement, the curator collecting evidence of this paper trail for an exhibition at the Chinese Canadian Museum in Vancouver set to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the act.
