+ | **10 - 10.40 Angela Phippen**, Programs Librarian Local Studies Ryde, Sources for researching Chinese market gardeners and their gardens. Angela discussed the methods she uses to identify both the (mostly Chinese) Market Gardeners who have lived and worked in the Ryde area. The process is admittedly long and winding, but very good results can be had by consulting a range of primary documents, maps and aerial photographs. It is not wise to solely rely on newspaper reports, as these were often coloured by racism and fear of the unknown. Such accounts of robberies, murders etc. allegedly committed by Market gardeners deny the many thousands of daily, ordinary transactions that such people would have had with their communities. Some resources such as exemptions from dictation tests provide information on individual Market gardeners, even down to references given by locals which give a true picture of the regard in which the workers were held, and their context as members of their communities. | ||
