Digital Resources
Free online resources created by, and for, those working to preserve, protect, and interpret the historic sites, artifacts, and experiences of Japanese American Confinement Sites.
As a special initiative of the 2020 Japanese American Confinement Sites Consortium (JACSC) Education Conference, three new digital guides on accessing archival collections pertaining to the WWII Japanese American experience are now available. We hope these guides will help you navigate these tremendous resources to support your work moving forward.
