Overview
From Paula Curtis Collection[1]: The Hoji Shinbun digital collection is currently the world’s largest online archive of free-access, full-image newspapers published by overseas Japanese and their descendants. All content reproduced in this collection is full-image with enhancements added where possible and render the text maximally searchable. The holdings of each title are also browsable by date, and each title is cross-searchable with other titles on the platform. This collection currently contains 14 newspapers published in Hawaii and North America. Most publications present a mix of content in the Japanese and English languages, with formats and proportionality of Japanese/English often changing as a reflection of shifting business and social circumstances.
