They were removed from their homes and incarcerated in relocation camps run by the War Relocation Authority. By April 1942, over 100,000 Japanese were housed here. This collection includes publications from all ten relocation camps and two assembly centres. The Assembly Centres were operated by the Army as stopping places for the Japanese as they were removed from their homes to the relocation centres. Some of the Assembly Centres had their own newspapers.
Most papers are in English, although articles often appeared in Japanese or in dual text.
The publications are arranged by location. The camp papers are grouped together by location and arranged chronologically within each reel. Also consult the content list. For more information, inquire at the East Asian Library.
