Here are just some of the ways you can help preserve and share the Japanese American soldier experience:

• Oral History Crew – Our Hanashi Oral History Program needs you! Projects include assisting as one of the following: interviewer, videographer, audio technician, or cataloguer.
• Oral History Transcriber – Are you a good listener and pretty quick on a keyboard? Then maybe transcribing our oral history interviews is perfect for you. Our volunteers get hooked: many say it feels like they’ve sat down for a long chat with a veteran. We provide the training.
• Oral History Researchers – Have a keen eye and ear? You may be interested in viewing taped interviews in search of specific content.
• Historical Researchers – Like history? Research? Creating unique historical programs and projects to keep the 100/442/MIS legacy alive? Our Programs Department might need your help.
• Collections Volunteer – Like working with historical photographs and documents? Our archivists are always on the look out for people with the aptitude and patience to digitize and catalog historical materials.
• Digital Media – Interested in computers and Web applications? We have projects that need attention, like creating computer streaming video files from taped interviews.
• Data Entry – Our donor community keeps growing – and sometimes donors move so we are constantly updating our donor information.
• Office/Clerical – There are always ways to help around a busy office: answering phones, assisting with mailings, filing, and much more.
• Special Events – Available to volunteer on a one-time or as-needed basis? Part of a group that wants to chip in together? Throughout the year we need help with various events such as film screenings, receptions, gala dinners, and community programs.
