Dennis M. Ogawa Nippu Jiji Photograph Collection

The Dennis M. Ogawa Nippu Jiji Photograph Collection is made available courtesy of the Hawaii Times Photo Archives Foundation. This long-term collaborative project started with the Foundation rescuing and organizing about 25,000 published and unpublished photographs and supporting documents, once housed at Nippu Jiji and later Hawaii Times. Densho initially partnered with the Hawaii Times Photo Archives Foundation in 2013 to help make these materials available to the public. The project has since been taken over by the Japanese Diaspora Initiative, which aims to make the images and rich English and Japanese descriptive metadata available open access on the Hoji Shinbun Digital Collection, collection by collection over time.
