Housing and storage of photos and objects.

The Oregon Nikkei Legacy Center serves as a focal point for the preservation and sharing of the history and culture of the Japanese American community. The Legacy Center is a venue for cultural and research activities and an invaluable resource for the exploration of the experiences of Japanese Americans and their role in Oregon's multi-cultural community.

The Angel's project will assist the Oregon Nikkei Endowment in housing and storing their numerous photographs and archives. The museum holds a number of historical photographs, personal papers, diaries, and ephemera important to the Japanese community in Oregon. Help the museum re-house objects and prepare them for storage, clean objects on display and help with specific projects like flattening of photographs.

Advocacy project pairing conservators and graduate students from the University of Oregon Arts Administration Museum Studies program.
