Bukit Brown Cemetery is touted as the largest collection of Chinese tombs in Southeast Asia with approximately 100,000 graves. The Bukit Brown Documentation Project between 2011-2014 recorded over 4,000 graves affected by the construction of a motorway through the cemetery. Led by anthropologist Hui Yew-Foong, the archaeology team assisted with the recording of artifacts and tombs of the cemetery. The study enabled detailed analysis of the material culture and thousands of grave goods interned by the overseas Chinese community between 1922-1973.
