==Japanese canadian history in Montreal== The dispersement of Japanese Canadians from the West Coast of Canada and the subsequent resettlement in various parts of eastern Canada are important aspects of modern Canadian history. Montreal has been home to as many as 5,000 Japanese Canadians since 1943 although the number has decreased in recent years. Their struggle to re-establish not only the community, but their lives, has been preserved through taped interviews, letters, photos and other documents. These have been gathered over the past 30 years by the late Rei Nakashima and many volunteers. The collection had been stored at the Nakashima residence until 2005 when it was moved to the McGill University Archives. Since then another group of volunteers has worked with archivists at McGill University identifying, classifying and organizing the materials which are valuable resources for anyone, particularly students and academics, interested in researching and learning about this historical event.
