Overview
From Paula Curtis Collection[1]: The Mitsugi M. Kasai Memorial Japanese American Archive preserves the history and culture of Japanese Americans. The story told by this archive begins with the arrival of the first Japanese immigrants who came to Utah to work in the railroad, mining, and agricultural industries. The archive includes records, photographs, journals, oral histories, and films from their settlement. Salt Lake City’s Japantown, the 442nd Regimental Combat Team and other U. S. military involvement, relocation to internment camps, and the establishment of Japanese Buddhist and Christian churches are included in the archive.
