Chinese in Northwest America Research Committee (CINARC)
CINARC, Bainbridge Is., WA, USA.
Self-description:
"CINARC (Chinese in Northwest America Research Committee) is quite new, having been established in July, 2008. We are Washington State-based researchers who approach the subject from the viewpoints of history and anthropology. [...] The purpose of this site and of CINARC is to encourage collaboration in exploring the history of Chinese in the Pacific Northwest - in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, British Columbia, Alaska, etc. - between the first known arrival of Chinese in 1788 and the great changes in the regional Chinese population that followed the liberalizing of U.S. immigration laws in 1965."
