California State University Japanese American Digitization Project: An Exhibit

Introduction

This exhibit of the CSU Japanese American Digitization Project (CSUJAD) presents a documentary narrative of Japanese nationals in America (Issei) and their American-born children (Nisei) before, during, and after World War II.  The textual and photographic materials are selected from digitized documents residing in the CSUJAD Database (CSU Dominguez Hills) and the Japanese American Archival Collection ImageBase (Sacramento State). Through the generous support of the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Park Service, Japanese American archives from fifteen CSU and UC campuses will continue to be added to the CSUJAD Database through 2018. Through photographs, correspondence, news digests, maps and more,u this exhibit offers researchers, teachers, and students a glimpse into the unjust incarceration of approximately 120,000 Japanese Americans from 1942-1945.
