Preserving | Educating | Activating

The JASC Legacy Center is a community-based resource that collects and preserves materials reflecting the Japanese American experience in the Chicago area.  These materials are freely available to the public for research and reference purposes.  The Legacy Center seeks to preserve and promote community heritage and common understanding of the Japanese American experience as an integral part of American history. We provide reference services for our collections, can help make connections with community members, lend selected materials, and can refer to other repositories.
