Processing Note

Items were originally mounted in two scrapbooks. They were removed from the books, unfolded, and placed among pages of acid-free paper to help preserve the materials. Another reason for the re-housing was so the material could be microfilmed, with one copy being given to the Japanese American Citizens League office in San Francisco.

Acquisition Information

On permanent loan from the Japanese American Citizens League, 1980.
