Our Mission is:

• To serve as a cultural resource of civic and community events, thus adding to the already rich cultural diversity of the area.
  
• To preserve and further the timeless cultural traditions which are our legacy by generations past.
  
• To collect, document and establish an archives library of historical artifacts, data, visual images and an oral history of the Japanese American experience in the Long Beach and surrounding areas to serve as a unique educational resource.
