These shots are from the time I spent on Pulau Bidong, Malaysia, in 1985.
At the time Pulau Bidong was a refugee camp for Vietnamese boatpeople; at times about 5 000 people were there; mostly Vietnamese, plus various Malaysian and international workers.
Some of these photos were taken by me, some were not; I wish to acknowledge that and am placing the images here in the hope that some of the people in them, or their relatives might discover them.
The process of shooting / developing / printing / scanning / processing the images has not always been kind.
The Vietnamese Heritage Museum (VHM) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to the preservation and exhibition of our Vietnamese refugees’ heritage. VHM collects and shares the testimonies and artifacts that tell the stories of the Vietnamese refugees. We wish to preserve this heritage for present and future generations to reflect upon.
