We are so excited to check out this new resource from our friends at Angel Island Immigration Station Foundation. Maybe they will share it during our session on Friday at #NCSS2024. #immigration #education #history
Angel Island's Chinese poetry is available to view for the first time with a new web-enhanced guide called the Angel Island Immigration Station Poetry Finder. www.aiisf.org/finder The AIIS Poetry Finder allows you to explore, read, listen to, and reflect on the experiences of Angel Island’s immigrants from inside the detention barracks AND at home. The project features... - Over 140 Chinese poems and their translations - Room maps showing the locations of the building's poetry - Photos of the walls with highlighted Chinese text - Audio recordings of the poems read in their regional dialect - A virtual exhibit page for at-home exploration - A QR code-enhanced experience inside the detention barracks AIISF would like to acknowledge the hard work of co-creators and State Park volunteers Sam Louie and Samuel Lee; Angel Island State Park staff; translators Him Mark Lai, Genny Lim, Judy Yung, and Charles Egan; and the project's Chinese dialect readers, who made the AIIS Poetry Finder possible.
