A new archival collection donated by a Japanese American family is now part of the ASU Library.

The Ohnick Family Papers document the lives and experiences of a Japanese American family living across the American West in the 19th and 20th centuries. Beginning in 1848, the collection includes correspondence, photographs, real-estate records, and other materials from Hachiro and Katherine Ohnick and their four children: Ben, Tom, Marion and Helen.
