Japanese American Research Project (University of California, Los Angeles)
Variant namesThe Japanese American Research Project (originally named the Issei History Project) was initiated by Wakamatsu Shigeo, President of the Japanese American citizens League (JACL) in 1960. The three major objectives of the project were: 1. to conduct a sociological survey based on a national sampling of the Issei and Nisei populations; 2. to publish a definitive history of the Japanese Americans; 3. and to collect documents, including oral history and memorabilia. UCLA agreed to co-sponsor the project along with the JACL. T. Scott Miyakawa became the first director of the project, and Robert A. Wilson was appointed to administer the fund. Later funds were contributed to the project to include the Sansei generation in the survey.
