Japanese American Relocation Digital Archive (JARDA) — Calisphere

The JARDA project began in 1998 with the goal of providing a single point of entry to materials held by California institutions on the subject of Japanese American relocation and incarceration during World War II. Historically, these materials had been heavily requested, but difficult to access since they were scattered across many California archives, libraries, oral history programs, and museums. A dedicated digitization project was undertaken by several institutions statewide, and the first version of the site was launched in November 2000. Now part of Calisphere, JARDA continues to grow as institutions continue to digitize and add content on the subject.
