The Chung Collection holds one of the largest research collections on the Canadian
Pacific Railway Company. Dovetailing into the collection's documents on Asian
immigration and the Chinese experience in North America, the C.P.R. portion of the
Chung Collection tells the story of the building of the railway, the C.P.R. steamship
services, and the experiences of travelers on C.P.R. ships, trains and planes. The
collection is rich not only in archival materials originating from the C.P.R. and
publications about the C.P.R., but also in artifacts and graphic material, reflecting
travel and tourism in a bygone era.
Dr. Chung was first inspired to collect items on the subject of the Canadian Pacific
Railway company when as a young boy he saw a poster of the Empress of Asia in his
father's tailor shop. His collection started modestly, with newspaper clippings and
scrapbooks, but has now grown to thousands of rare and sometimes unique items.
