From this item, LOI has digitized a textual record.

A yearbook where the cover page reads, "Tashme Echoes. December, 1945, Vol 3, No 1". There is a hand drawn picture of a snowman holding a sign that reads, "Merry Xmas". The smoke from his pipe makes up the title. There is a cabin and electric polein the background. The 19 page book contains topics such as the class news, club news, sports and stories. The back page contains over twenty signatures - most likely from the students in Shoji Nishihata's class.

Komajiro Nishihata was a pioneer who came Vancouver in 1901. He left his home town of Echigawa cho, Shiga ken during the immigration boom. Komajiro's twin sons, Saburo and Jiro were born April 12, 1899 but remained in Echigawa cho, to acquire middle school education in Japan. They lived with an aunt until they graduated and came to Canada together on August 21, 1914 on board the Canada Maru. Immigration laws had tightened and the boys' father sponsored by Komajiro Nishihata from Big Bay near Comox, BC, and lived with him until 1921. Afterwards, the family was reunited and lived together near Port Moody, where Komajiro worked at the Port Moody Sawmill.

The digital copies of the records were acquired by the Landscapes of Injustice Research Collective between 2014 and 2018.
