Do you want to understand your family’s incarceration more deeply, but don’t know where to start? Have you already started studying this history, but have hit an archival roadblock and want to talk about it? Are you looking to preserve the histories of your living family members and need guidance on how to interview them? Do you have Japanese-language materials in your family archive and want to connect with people and resources that can help you interpret them?

Together we will discuss ways to find and interpret incarceration records, conduct oral histories, and work with Japanese-language materials. Following presentations on these topics, we will divide into smaller discussion groups to discuss particular items or questions of interest. Please feel free to bring a family letter, photograph, government document, Japanese-language document or other archival item that you want help interpreting.

Note: This workshop has a limit of 20 people. It will be first come, first served.
