Oregon Nikkei Legacy Center

Help preserve Nikkei history

M. Inouye at the "Heart Mountain Story" Exhibit

The story of the Nikkei in America is one that must be told and retold by each generation. Do you have old photos taken in the internment camps? Art, poetry, or writing created by the Issei?

The ONLC collects Nikkei artifacts and historical documents for our exhibits and presentations. Please help us preserve our past. Search through your old drawers and family albums. We would like to borrow them long enough to make copies. The original print will be returned to you, unless you wish to donate it for our collection.

For each photo, please note:

All people in the picture
Place it was taken
Date taken
Circumstances surrounding the picture (if appropriate)

We greatly appreciate your help in this effort.

For more information or to donate an item to our collection, please e-mail Becky Patchett, Director of Collections and Exhibits, at becky[at]oregonnikkei.org.
