Hari Singh Everest Gallery

Writings

Read over 500 of Dr. Everest’s articles, short stories, poetry, and letters. Professor Everest wrote passionately in defense of social justice – not just for his own people, but for humankind

Professor Everest wrote poignant descriptions of his personal journey over the course of 56 years, from the day he left the Punjab in 1954 for America. So far, we have preserved two years of his diaries. The Everest diaries are important new primary sources in American history.

Drawings

Professor Everest also penned a range of humorous drawings and cartoons about his experiences in the United States.

Interviews

Professor Everest was the community historian for Yuba City’s Punjabi community. He appeared in numerous documentaries and interviews. Enjoy several interviews with Professor Everest.

Photographs

View over 50 photographs from Professor Everest’s days as a journalist and civil servant in Shimla to his student days at Stanford and his life in Yuba City.

Documents

The diverse array of documents from India to Yuba City shed new light on Professor Everest’s extraordinary life, including the long process he undertook to immigrate to the United States and the extraordinary hurdles he and other Sikhs overcame to establish the first Sikh temple in Yuba City.
