Until you find this:

\({\bf{Creation~of~the~Immigration~Museum}}\)

"After the war, the Immigration Station was abandoned and fell into disrepair. Like many other unused buildings on Angel Island, the detention barracks was scheduled for destruction in 1970. Prior to demolition, Park Ranger Alexander Weiss toured the building with flashlight in hand and noted the calligraphy carved in the walls. Through his efforts and those of the Angel Island Immigration Station Historical Advisory Committee (AIISHAC) the dilapidated barracks was saved from demolition and special legislation was passed granting $250,000 to preserve and restore the barracks. A museum has been established in the old barracks building. It includes a re-creation of one of the dormitories, and features some of the poems that were carved into the station's walls. The Angel Island Immigration Station Foundation is an all-volunteer non-profit organization dedicated to raising funds to educate, preserve, restore, and improve the site. The long-term goal is to develop a premier west coast center for the study of Pacific Rim immigration from the past to the present, and to keep the history of Angel Island Immigration Station alive."
