As the Online Auction is one of our main fundraisers for 2024, meeting our fundraising goal is essential to ensure that we can continue to support Museum operations and fulfill our mission through thoughtful and engaging programs, informative and impactful permanent and rotating exhibits, artifact preservation, and educational curriculum and tours. As we continue to recover from closure during Covid-19, donations are crucial as we build up our membership, admissions and tours to pre-Covid levels.

The Japanese American Museum of San Jose (JAMsj) showcases a unique collection of permanent and rotating exhibits chronicling more than a century of Japanese American History. Visitors learn about early immigration of Japanese to America, their leadership in the agricultural community, their incarceration during World War II and the challenges they faced, while adapting and contributing to West Coast communities. JAMsj provides a historical forum that stimulates present day discussions on civil liberties, race relation, discrimination, and American identity.
