We had the great joy to attend the Archives Crawl at the Japanese American Service Committee. One of our core members, JASC was founded in 1946 and formed to serve the needs of Japanese immigrants and their American-born children coming to Chicago after leaving the World War II incarceration camps. Originally called the Chicago Resettlers Committee, the organization assisted with housing, jobs, and the re-forming of a community.

JASC also works to archive the history of the Japanese American experience in Chicago for both scholars and the community with the JASC Legacy Center while continuing to providesocial service and cultural programs for the greater Chicago area.
