Your material donation is paramount in preserving the history archives to the next generation.

You may not know the historical value of old prints and negatives which you might otherwise discard.

For example, you have someone who surfed during the 1960s ~ 1970 in your family. When he or she passes away and you have no idea what to do with those snapshots of surfing or surfers, surfing competition’s booklet, trophy, surfing club membership, etc.  Most of these items may appear useless and invaluable.

We ask that you hold on for one moment because these old photographs may just be that missing link of the early days of surfing history in Japan.
