Historical NoteReturn to Top

Japanese Community Service, Inc. was founded to provide charitable service to the Seattle Japanese community and to serve as an unofficial link with Japan.

Content DescriptionReturn to Top

One historical feature, 1984; correspondence, minutes, financial records.

The historical feature is a clipping crediting Genji Mihara and others with its founding in 1949 but this is an error; this accession covers 1932-1943 and proves that Japanese Community Service, Inc. was in existence before World War II.
