George Masa was a WNC photographer who immigrated to Asheville from Japan in 1915. His photos left a legacy that helped to document and led to the creation of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Angelyn Whitmeyer is a researcher who compiled the George Masa Photo Database collection of his photos after realizing how many had been “lost” or unidentified.
