Quackenbush, Barkerville's curator, joined Canadian Senator Lillian (Quan) Dyck and Overseas Exchange Association of Guangdong Province director Lily Chow in Guangdong this past November, as part of an eleven day research expedition aimed at better understanding Barkerville's extraordinary collection of Chinese archival records, photographs, and artifacts - many of which were brought to British Columbia by early immigrants from Guangdong Province.
