Photographs are a collection from different members of the family. They include family and friends in Japan, life in Victoria, and eventually in internment camps. Later photographs of the family are created and collected by Tatsu Henmi. Records created by Jack Hemmy primarily during the later part of internment and once settled in Toronto are not included.
