USF Honors NJAHS & National Park Service

On April 21, 4-6PM. USF honors NJAHS and the National Park Service for their
university-museum collaboration– a public access digitization project.
Camp Collections: A Digital Library was funded in part by the
Japanese American Confinement Sites grant and administered by
the National Park Service in September 2013. Since 2011, NJAHS has been working
with the University’s Gleeson Library-Geschke Center, and the Department of Art & Architecture,
and specifically with USF’s new Museum Studies Program, training
students in an effort to improve public access to NJAHS Camp collections
posting them in the online database hosted by USF’s Gleeson Library.
Current project team members are: Museum Studies Director Paul Birnbaum,
Dean of USF Library Collections Tyrone Cannon, Digital Librarian Jessica Zheng Lu,
USF Adjunct Professor & Project Manager Paloma Anoveros,
NJAHS Collections Manager Max Nihei (USF alum ’15),
Project Director & NJAHS Executive Director Rosalyn Tonai, (USF alum ’88)
and the many interns from the Class of 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 & 2016.
A special exhibit is being planned in 2017 for the 75th anniversary of Executive Order 9066. Event will be held at the
Thatcher Gallery, USF Gleeson Library on campus.
