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.

FIRST-EVER DIGITAL COLLECTION OF CIVIL RIGHTS DOCUMENTS
WASHINGTON-As the Nation pauses to remember the achievements of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) teams up with the United States Commission on Civil Rights (USCCR) and the Thurgood Marshall Law Library, University of Maryland School of Law, to provide the American public a website of authentic Civil Rights historical publications.
The Thurgood Marshall Law Library, which is a GPO Federal Depository Library, has been scanning hundreds of historical Civil Rights publications to make this digital collection possible. These documents are provided by USCCR. With a couple strokes of the keyboard, Americans can access Civil Rights documents such as The Civil Rights Act. These documents are accessible at:
