"New website announcement: japanairraids.org . We are pleased to announce the launching of a new website, japanairraids.org, a bilingual digital archive dedicated to the international dissemination of information about the United States Army Air Force air raids against Japan. While in its infancy, the website features air raid survivor interviews, primary documents produced by the U.S. and Japanese governments, photographs, moving images, and sound recordings. We encourage educators to inform students about the website, which can act as a one-stop shop for them to conduct original research. Given our wish to significantly expand the offering of primary documents and survivor interviews, we welcome any suggestions for funding possibilities. - ck."
Self-description:
"This site is an ongoing project to build a digital archive dedicated to the international dissemination of information about the World War II air raids against Japan. Thanks to the many Japanese citizens who over the last forty years have labored to preserve records regarding the raids and analyze the destruction of urban Japan (and the concurrent suffering and social upheaval that occurred in the final months of the Asia-Pacific War), the history of the air raids has taken root in Japan in a variety of ways. Numerous books and articles have been published, air raid resource centers and peace museums have been built, and members of research associations continue to carry out important research individually as well as hold annual meetings and conferences."
