The University of British Columbia's (UBC) Chung Collection explores the province's history with 25,000 artifacts related to the Chinese diaspora's immigration and settlement.

With highlights such as a "coin sword" made of coins from the era of the Qianlong emperor (1736-96), the collection was recently added to the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) "Canada Memory of the World Register," which recognizes documents of profound Canadian significance.

"Coin swords are considered to ward off evil, and bring good luck," reads UBC's online archive
