The Densho Digital Repository documents the grave acts of racism and deprivation of civil liberties inflicted against Japanese Americans during World War II. In doing so, the project hopes to instill in viewers a responsibility to continue to work towards equality. "Densho" means "to pass on to the next generation," and the archive focuses on preserving firsthand accounts, inviting users to "hear the story of the Japanese American incarceration experience from those who lived it." The collection includes oral histories and interviews, as well as images and documents, that collectively encompass various aspects of the Japanese American experience during WWII. The Home page offers three ways to navigate the archive: the "Browse" button leads to four organizational categories (narrators, collections, topics, and facilities), while the "Search" button pulls up a generic search bar. The third option is to look over the thumbnail images near the bottom of the Home page that highlight select collection items. Clicking on an image pulls up the full item record. Densho is based in Seattle, Washington, though the digital archive is a collaboration between multiple institutions. Readers can view a full list of contributors on the About page.
