Densho: The Japanese American Legacy Project, which owns the largest archive of visual testimonies on the Japanese American WWII incarceration experience, was awarded two grants totaling $544,713 from the National Park Service Japanese American Confinement Sites (JACS) program.
The first grant enables Densho to create a curriculum package and expand its democracy education program to 600 teachers in six states.
The second grant gives Densho the opportunity to upgrade its existing web-based photograph and document collection by partnering with four community and historical organizations to make accessible more than 50,000 digital objects related to the Japanese American confinement sites. (end)
