Tegami: Reaching Out Across Distance
We are proud to announce the completion of our 2022-2023 digitization project Tegami: Reaching Out Across Distance. Over the last year, we digitized significant materials from the Eiji Yatabe Collection and Shinobu Family Fonds (collections), with a particular focus on hundreds of letters written during the 1940s forced uprooting and dispossession. Over forty of these letters are between close friends Mariko Tokunaga and Kazuko Shinobu, following each girl from their arrival at internment camps in the midst of their high school education to their moves out east to Ontario.
With continued support from the Yatabe family, these letters and other items are now digitized and available for viewing in our database at nikkeimuseum.org.
Thank you to the University of British Columbia’s Irving K Barber BC History Digitization Program for their support.
The project team is Sherri Kajiwara, Lisa Uyeda, and Sam Frederick.
