\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Repository:<\/strong>\u00a0University of San Francsico Gleeson Library Digital Collections. The artifacts shown are from the National Japanese American Historical Society\u2019s collection and were produced in the Relocation Centers. Oral histories of Japanese Latin Americans were produced by the Japanese Peruvian Oral History Project. The majority of the digital images shown are copies of maps and drawings and are the property of the owners, Lynne Horiuchi and Jimi Yamaichi, who have lent their digital scans to NJAHS for the purpose of providing digital access to them. The U.S. government produced the majority of the architectural\/engineering drawings, plans, and maps in the collection.<\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/strong> The goal of this website is to provide access to the NJAHS collection, as well as images relating to the planning, design, and construction of Japanese American confinement sites during World War II, specifically the \u201cRelocation Centers.\u201d These were ten semi-permanent sites located in isolated areas of the western United States and Arkansas. The website has since expanded to incorporate WRA temporary “Assembly Centers,” U.S. Army Facilities, and INS Department of Justice internment camps. The map is meant to reflect the collection in the USF Database, and not the actual number of Japanese American confinement sites. The collection includes three types of images: 1) architectural drawings, 2) engineering plans or maps, 3) objects, 4) documents, 5) photographs, and 6) oral histories from the National Japanese American Historical Society\u2019s collection.<\/p>\n

Languages Represented:<\/strong> Collection materials are in English.<\/p>\n

Physical Location:<\/strong>\u00a0Many of the objects, documents, photographs and oral histories can be found at the National Japanese American Historical Society. 1684 Post Street, San Francisco, CA. 94115. Many of the plans, maps and drawings may be found in the National Archives and Record Administration (NARA) facilities.<\/p>\n
