Two kind gentlemen by the names of John and Scott found around twenty black and white photographs scattered around a luggage conveyor on the morning of June 4th in Toronto’s Pearson Airport.  The pictures mainly consist of portraits of what appear to be the Miki family taken between 1942 and 1945 in Slocan, BC.  If you think these photographs belong to you please contact the JCNM at ajensen@nikkeiplace.org or you can contact Scott directly at middlesc@sympatico.ca.

We are pleased to welcome four summer students this year – generously funded by Canada Summer Jobs and Young Canada Works in Heritage Institutions. Three students Lisa, Momoko and Scott – will focus on collections cataloguing and digitization. Bryan will assist with public programming, gallery tours, and marketing. We look forward to working with all of you!

Some community members are interested in forming a group to share their interest in Japanese Canadian history. If you are interested in learning more, contact Stan Fukawa at sfukawa@gmail.com

The Museum is looking for trusty sewers to help us sew garment bags and padded hangers to help preserve the museum’s wonderful collection of clothing. The museum will provide cloth, thread and instructions.  If you are interested in helping us out or for more information, please contact: Alexis Jensen at 604 777 7000 ext 140.

Do you enjoy learning about Japanese Canadian history? Are you interested in writing or editing? Do you have a passion for graphic design? We are looking for volunteers to join our Nikkei Images editorial committee. This small journal is published three times each year by the museum and is distributed to all NNMHC members. No previous experience required! Please contact Beth at bcarter@nikkeiplace.org or 604.777.7000.

We recently received funding from the Irving K Barber BC History Digitization Project to continue scanning our collections into our online database. With the help of two summer students through the Young Canada Works program of Canadian Heritage, the museum plans to post another 2000 items online! Check out the website at www.jcnm.ca/collections

Artists of Japanese Heritage in Canada, 1941-2011
On the seventieth anniversary of the internment of Japanese Canadians, the history of artists of Japanese heritage in Canada has received scant scholarly attention. This session invites artists and art historians to examine the work of artists of Japanese heritage in Canada over the past seventy years. A range of topics are welcome, including the impact of Japanese printmakers on the Cape Dorset Community, images of internment, issues of identity, Trans-Pacific relations, the commemoration of World War II, remix, and landscape and identity.
