Again most are recent photographs (including photographs of Sumei events on Chinatown) but several CDs contain historical Chinatown photographs and maps. Some also contain text files with drafts for the Chinatown book. Of note is #19 which has video of a full Newark Chinatown reunion and #21 and #25 which have historical Chinatown photos.
