Donations of interview footage:
The Sedai Oral History Collection is once again accepting donations of audio and video recordings of original interviews with people in the Japanese Canadian community or about Japanese Canadian history. These interviews will become part of the collection and will be kept safe for long-term preservation and access.
We are accepting donations from April 1 - May 15, 2026.
To submit a donation, please fill out this form.
For inquiries or help with your submission, contact clairef@jccc.on.ca or 416-441-2345, ext. 303.
We will accept recordings in any format. Analog material such as tapes or film will be digitized, and we will provide you with a copy of the digitized files.
Unfortunately, we are unable to accept all donations. We will not accept: TV, radio or commercial recordings, recordings without permissions from the interviewee or their family, or recordings that do not meet collection priorities. Decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis.
