Preserving the History of Japanese Heritage

Every person, place, and organization has a story to tell. Since the first official Japanese delegation arrived in New York in 1860, generations of Japanese and Japanese Americans have lived, worked, created, and built communities across the city and beyond. Their stories have shaped New York’s history in many fields, from art, business, education, and science to community life, diplomacy, and cultural exchange. Through digital exhibitions and archival projects, the Digital Museum of the History of Japanese in New York preserves, shares, and honors these histories, bringing overlooked voices and memories into public view.
