Participants

A striking number of people have participated in the California State University Japanese American Digitization project. They include scholars who participated in the initial planning meetings, assist with ongoing progress, and contribute to project activities; project partners and others who developed, implemented and continue to support CSUJAD both in their role as archivists and through their institutions; CSU Dominguez Hills archivists and staff who have added a wealth of knowledge to CSUJAD and contributed to the mission of the Gerth Archives as a whole; consultants who have focused their expertise and extended the project’s reach through their efforts and aggregations (Densho, California Digital Library and Digital Public Library of America); and valued friends.

We sincerely thank them all.
