December 2025

As Mike Mori wrote in the October 2025 Dharma Newsletter, the Archives Committee has been actively working to upgrade the capabilities of the Archives Group equipment. We now have two upgraded iMac computers, one Windows PC, and one Windows laptop. We’ve also purchased a high-speed document scanner, and a high-speed photo scanner. Our goal is to digitize the many documents and photos in the Archives storage and move the files to the Cloud for safe keeping.

In addition to keeping the files safe, storing photos and documents in the Cloud will enable us to share select items with the Sangha community. One example is
the Kansha booklet that was put together for the San Jose Betsuin’s 75th Anniversary. The entire booklet can be viewed at the link to the right (Learn More). We hope you enjoy this look into the past, as we are looking forward to the 125th Anniversary in 2027. We will be working with all the Betsuin Organizations to support their archiving needs.
