The Kansha History Project documents and publishes the contributions, skills, and accomplishments of Nikkei (Japanese American) farmers prior to World War II–a legacy which continues to this day. Many had invested their entire savings as well as their labor, skills, hopes, and dreams, into these farms, which they were forced to hand over. The losses in crops, structures, land, and housing were recorded by federal field agents. These records are a window into the family and community life of thousands of Japanese Americans. Today, volunteers are restoring this history by transcribing these records and making them searchable to descendants.
