Historical Note

"From 1942-1946, some 125,000 individuals (over 77,000 American citizens of Japanese ancestry and over 43,000 Japanese nationals, most of whom were permanent U.S. residents,) were summarily deprived of liberty and property without criminal charges and without trial of any kind. Several persons were also violently deprived of life. All persons of Japanese ancestry on the West Coast were expelled from their homes and confined in desolate, inland camps, often referred to euphemistically as 'internment camps.' The sole basis for these actions was ancestry; citizenship, age, loyalty, and innocence of wrongdoing did not matter. Japanese Americans were the only group singled out for mass incarceration." Japanese American Citizens League National. (2011) https://www.jaexperience.org/

Content Description

The Japanese American forced removal photograph collection consists of 367 black-and-white photographs taken at the American concentration camp in Tule Lake, California in 1942 and 1943. These are not images created by incarcerees of their own experiences; rather, they are propaganda pictures created by the War Relocation Authority (WRA), a federal government agency created by President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Executive Order 9102 on March 18, 1942.[1] Many of the photographs have WRA stamps on their backs, detailing when, where, and by whom they were taken. Some of these original captions have been rewritten, likely transcribed by archivists. While the majority of the collection consists of contemporaneous prints, the oversize photographs are modern prints of WRA photographs that were matted and framed before being donated by Professor Dean May.

The photographs feature a variety of subjects and themes, including incarcerees of all ages and genders in both individual portraits and group pictures; incarcerees working on farms and in offices; incarcerated children attending school; festivals, parades, and baseball games; and photographs of the barracks, trains, and surrounding landscapes.

The collection also contains one photograph taken in Waukon, Washington, located in Box 1, Folder 12.
