About Chinese Whispers Chinese Whispers is a multi-faceted interdisciplinary project about contemporary folk memories of the Chinese who helped build the Transcontinental Railroad and settlements of the American West. The project takes shape in two main formats: as place-based community storytelling productions taking place at sites along the route of the Transcontinental Railroad, envisioned to unfold from California to Utah, and as an interactive, online mapping platform that aggregates community stories with locative social, cultural and historical data. A pilot Sierra Nevada storytelling production took place in 2009, and a Bay Area production is in progress. We are in research and development on the web project, Chinese Whispers: Mapping the TracesSM. Using locative media to bring together humanities research and vernacular content, the project will innovate web tools that combine digital mapping, geo-referenced research data, and community storytelling to convey this overlooked history in an accessible way. We collaborated with the Center for Sierra Nevada Studies on Chinese Whispers: Mapping the TracesSM and the Centers Director Emeritus, historian Gary Noy on initial set of research, and Chinese Whispers is advised by a prominent board of Humanities, civic engagement and technology advisors including nationally renowned historian Jack Tchen of NYU, who co-founded the Museum of Chinese in the Americas, NY.
