Explore the cultural and trading relationships that emerged between America, China and the Pacific region from the early eighteenth to the twentieth century

Sourced from world-class collections at American and Canadian libraries including the Massachusetts Historical Society and the Peabody Essex Museum, Salem, China, America and the Pacific offers unique insights into the history of North American trade and cultural interactions with China. Coverage also includes Pacific trading centres, such as Hawai‘i.

The selection featured here includes illustrations from the collection as well as manuscript correspondence, which benefits from AM Quartex' in-built HTR search feature.
