    Japanese American Museum San Jose (JAMsj)

    JAMsj preserves and disseminates the culture and history of Japanese American, with a special focus on the Santa Clara Valley.

    It was established 1987 and grew out of a research project on Japanese American farmers which collected family histories, photographs and private memoirs. This project grew into a curriculum used by the San Jose Unified School District. JAMsj continuing work led to the award-wining book, Japanese Legacy: Farming and Community Life in California's Santa Clara Valley in 1985.
