The Mitsui Family at Dartmouth College - Digital Museum of the History of Japanese in NY

The #Mitsui legacy at Dartmouth began in 1915 with Takanaga Mitsui and a gift of friendship—a bronze temple bell.

Today, that legacy continues as Toru Matsui of Mitsui & Co. joins our Board, carrying forward more than a century of connection. ⤵️

At our museum, Co-Archivist Mac Gill shares what it means to preserve community memory in a digital world.
