Densho: The Japanease American Legacy Project

In 1996, a Seattle community group formed Densho to begin videotaping the life histories of Japanese Americans who were incarcerated by the U.S. government during World War II. In 1998 Densho created a digital archive of 75 interviews and 1,000 historic photos and documents. This digital archive was made available at the Wing Luke Asian Museum in Seattle.
