Content Summary:: This collection comprises a miner's right and business license for Kee Lim, a Chinese immigrant or an Australian with Chinese heritage. The two pro forma documents, letterpress printed on recto with entries inscribed in ink and stamped "Tingha", dated "Jan. 16, 1911" and "Feb. 25, 1911" respectively. Each document is annotated on verso in traditional Chinese in calligraphy style with the same dates in both the Georgian and Chinese lunar calendars.

Each document was valid for six months in 1911 and was a renewal of a previously expired version. The place of issue for both documents was Tingha, a small town near Inverall in NSW.
