This collection of 222 photographs documents the relocation of Japanese
Americans in Southern California during World War II and immediately
thereafter, as captured by Los Angeles Examiner and wire service
photographers. Much of the coverage documents scenes of:
- The relocation process
- Life in camps at Manzanar, Santa Anita, Tanforan, and Tule Lake
- Post-war repatriation to Japan
The original captions from the photographs, many of which were published in
the Los Angeles Examiner, have been included to enhance subject-specific
retrieval; the cultural references reflect the 1940's terminology.
