DESCRIPTION:The Eaton Collection will be on display at JAMsj from July 12 t
 o July 15th\, from 12pm to 4pm each day.\n\nWhile conducting research for 
 a book about art and craft objects created by Japanese Americans during Wo
 rld War II\, author <span style="background-color: initial\;">Allen  Hend
 ershott Eaton amassed a significant collection of such camp  artifacts. Mo
 re than 60 years later\, in 2015\, a controversial  <span style="backgrou
 nd-color: initial\;">attempt  by a private party to auction the artifacts 
 was averted by Japanese  American community leaders and activists. Ultimat
 ely\,  <span style="background-color: initial\;">the Eaton Collection was
  transferred to the Japanese American National Museum for safekeeping and 
 conservation.  <span style="background-color: initial\;">The museum is no
 w actively seeking input from the community about the items in the collect
 ion through a traveling pop-up  <span style="background-color: initial\;"
 >display and accompanying workshops. The display includes physical or digi
 tal representation of every item in the collection— <span style="backgro
 und-color: initial\;">more than 400 individual photographs\, sculptures\, 
 paintings and watercolors\, jewelry items\, vases\, beads\, nameplates\, 
  <span style="background-color: initial\;">and other items handmade by Jap
 anese Americans while enduring incarceration in the WWII camps. Contested 
 Histories is  <span style="background-color: initial\;">intended to help 
 gather information about each individual object so that the museum’s eff
 orts to preserve and catalog the  <span style="background-color: initial\
 ;">collection can be as complete as possible. Camp survivors\, their famil
 y members\, and friends are encouraged to share with  <span style="backgr
 ound-color: initial\;">JANM information they know or remember about the ob
 jects\, including who is depicted in the many photographs.  <span style="
