Japanese American National Museum
Site: http://janm.org
As the national repository of Japanese American history, the Japanese American National Museum (JANM) creates groundbreaking historical and arts exhibitions, educational public programs, award-winning documentaries, and innovative curriculum that illuminate the stories and the rich cultural heritage of people of Japanese ancestry in the United States. JANM also speaks out when diversity, individual dignity and social justice are undermined, vigilantly sharing the hard-fought lessons accrued from this history. Its underlying purpose is to transform lives, create a more just America and, ultimately, a better world.
Densho and JANM have a long history of working together to preserve and tell the stories of the Japanese American incarceration. They have partnered on digital collections and oral history projects which can be found in the Densho Digital Repository. This work was generously funded by the National Park Service Japanese American Confinement Sites program.
