Interiors of the Cairns Joss House

from State Library of Queensland

• Marjorie Earl said:

  I believe that the term "Joss" has been found to be a derogatory term.

• State Library of Queensland said:

  Marjorie Earl When describing historic images in our collection we use descriptive information that might accompany the photograph, as in this case as well as more contemporary subject headings. The term "Joss" does now have deragatory overtones, but it was the term in common usage at the time this photograph was taken, when joss houses were part of the architecture and culture of the Chinese community in Queensland. Our catalogue records also reflect the term "Chinese Temple" which we have added as a tag to this record. Thanks for your comment.
