[edit] Image quality

Apologies for the poor quality of this image. It's a scan of a photocopy. In order to get a better picture, I (or someone else) would have to go back to the National Archives office in San Bruno, CA and take a photograph (rather than a photocopy) of the original document. Unfortunately, the original copy of Wong Kim Ark's immigration file is kept locked away for safekeeping; visitors to the archives are only allowed to view photocopies of the originals. I don't remember, right now, how good the copy was that I saw when I visited the archives in 2005. If I ever have time to go back there, I'll try to get a better picture.
