The Oregon Historical Society has completed work to translate a large selection of the Japanese material in the Yasui family papers, a manuscript collection preserved in OHS’s research library.  Dating from 1873 to 2023 and crossing five generations, the Yasui family papers consists of over 20 linear feet of personal correspondence, original family documents and diaries, research files and historical writings, advocacy records, and photographs — about one-fifth of which is written in pre–World War II Japanese that is no longer widely spoken or written.  Homer Yasui donated the family papers to the Oregon Historical Society in late 2022.  OHS also cares for the Yasui Brothers business records, a large manuscript collection also donated by Homer Yasui.  Together, the collections document the experiences and contributions of Hood River businessman and noted community leader Masuo Yasui, Homer’s father, and his family during the first four decades of the twentieth century.  Over the coming years, OHS plans to digitize additional English-language documents and photographs from the Yasui family papers.  An exhibition focused on the Yasui collections at OHS is in development and will open in June 2025.
