"The Kazuyuki Takahashi papers, comprising digital scans of correspondence,
photographs, and related materials created and collected by Stanford University
graduate Kazuyuki “Kaz” Takahashi and his wife, Soyo Takahashi, during their
incarceration at Santa Anita Assembly Center and Manzanar concentration camp,
includes correspondence with family in Japan and with Stanford University
administration and faculty, as well as a family scrapbook documenting Kaz and
Soyo’s experiences while incarcerated. The materials, lent to Stanford
University Libraries by Caroline Takahashi, Kaz and Soyo’s daughter, were
recently digitized by the Digital Production Group, and cataloged and described
by staff of the Department of Special Collections & University Archives.
“The papers of Kaz Takahashi are an extraordinary collection that reveal
personal, social, and institutional realities of a terrible period in American
history,” shares Gordon Chang, professor of history and co-founder and
inaugural director of the Asian American Research Center at Stanford. “Dr.
Takahashi was brave and upright and his voice resonates with us today. He
continues to speak to us about injustice and the strength of the human
spirit.”"
