Landscapes of Injustice Project – Call for records


The Nikkei National Museum is a partner in the exciting *Landscapes of
Injustice* seven-year multi-sector interdisciplinary project to uncover and
tell the history of the forced sale of Japanese-Canadian-owned property
during the Second World War.


We are looking for any evidence of sale or expropriation such as land
deeds, letters from the custodian, lists of chattels entrusted to the
custodian, case files from the Bird Commission, returned life insurance
policies, rental agreements, farm appraisals, custodian case files from
Library and Archives Canada, maps, photographs, directories, lists of
people in communities pre-war, in camps, post war, and research done on the
topic.   We recognize these documents are archival treasures and some may
be deeply buried in the backlog, but we need your help.


If you think you might have something to contribute, please contact:  Lisa
Uyeda, Collections Manager at luyeda at nikkeiplace.org
<sowens at nikkeiplace.org> or 604 777-7000 X 140, or Linda Kawamoto Reid,
Research Archivist at lreid at nikkeiplace.org or 604 777-7000 X 111.
