2023 Award for Federal Partnerships in Historic Preservation: The Oregon Chinese Diaspora Project

The Oregon Chinese Diaspora Project is a grassroots federal, state, and local partnership initiated in underserved rural communities in southern and eastern Oregon. This trailblazing project is embedded in local communities but includes an exceptional public education component that reaches a state-wide audience and beyond. The research generated through public archaeology projects is helping to update and recenter the history of the Chinese diaspora in Oregon.
