A Living Archive of
Japanese-American Hawaii
The Hawaii Times Photo Archives Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation, digitization, and public accessibility of the photographic archives of the Hawaii Times — one of Hawaii's most significant Japanese-language and Japanese-American newspapers, published from 1895 to 1985.
These photographs represent an irreplaceable visual record of Japanese-American life in Hawaii — documenting community events, cultural traditions, historical milestones, and the everyday lives of Hawaii's Japanese-American community across nine decades.
