- Naturalization:\u00a0 Selected Historical Documents<\/a> [in progess]<\/span><\/strong>
\nOver 100 applications (documents for naturalization in Canada) form this collection.\u00a0 Each application may include Certificate of Naturalization, Notice of Intention to Apply for Naturalization, Certificate Under Section 10, Oath of Residence\/Allegiance, and Sworn Acquaintance.\u00a0 The largest number of applications from a single country of origin is Japan, followed by Norway, Sweden, and the US; over a dozen countries are represented.\u00a0 They date from 1913 to 1915.\u00a0 Whether naturalization was granted or not, these documents illustrate a desire to become citizens and relationships to others in the larger community.
\nThe collection was purchased in Chemainus at the Willow Antique Mall (13 October 2010) from stock originally part of JR Dibb Antiques & Arts.

\nThe collection is primarily of menus but also includes associated ephemera such as business cards, chopstick wrappers, place-mats, etc.\u00a0 It began with her uncle’s and father’s collection from their days in the Vancouver Chinatown restaurant business. Today, the majority of items come from “Chinese” restaurants in Canada and the United States acquired during her travels.\u00a0 Dr. Lim has also received donations from individuals who were looking for a ‘home’ for the menus collected by a family member.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nA portion of the collection was featured in the Museum of Vancouver (MoV) exhibit, All Together Now<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0 It opened June 23, 2016 and was extended to March 19, 2017.\u00a0 Dr. Lim spoke about the menus<\/a> at one of MoV’s public lectures, Me and My Collection<\/a>, September 8, 2016.<\/p>\n
