Ancestry, a genealogy company that keeps historical records, has released a new database containing information from the Chinese exclusion era, which banned Chinese people from immigrating to the U.S. and Canada. The new database: Ancestry digitized half a million records dating back to the mid-1800s, including when former President Chester A. Arthur signed the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882 to suspend Chinese immigration for 10 years and limit the rights of those already in America. The database reportedly includes official records, photographs and immigration case files, according to The Washington Post.
