The collection covers Y.C. Hong's immigration cases from the late 1920s to the 1960s. Most Chinese clients came from several counties in Guangdong, Southern China, such as Taishan, Kaiping, Xinhui, Heshan, Enping and Zhongshan. Categories of Hong's immigration cases are diverse, covering over 25 categories, but his major concentration was on applications for sons and wives of Chinese Americans to come to the United States, such categories as "Child of Native," "Child of Merchant," "Wife of Native" and "Wife of Merchant."
