The Mass Capture project has been digitizing all of the CI 9s with particular attention to these certificates as photographic objects. You can see some samples of our digitization work here. To get a sense of why we needed to digitize by working with a professional photographer, please see Adventures in Microfilm. You can see the full collection of CI 9s that Library and Archives Canada has digitized via Canadiana here.
Here are a few of the CI 9s that we have been working with.
These CI 9s have been digitized from the Library and Archives Canada “Chinese immigration records : C.I.9 certificates from Vancouver and Victoria,” reel number T-6040.
