Biographical Note
Frank Miyamoto began his association with the University of Washington Sociology Department as an undergraduate in the 1930s. He received a master's degree in sociology and his thesis, "Social Solidarity Among the Japanese in Seattle," was published by the University of Washington Press. Miyamoto chaired the Sociology Department from 1965-1970 and was associate dean of social sciences in the College of Arts and Sciences from 1975 to 1980. Miyamoto's teaching and research focused on social psychology, collective behavior, and race and ethnic relations.
Content Description
The bulk of this collection consists of ephemera concerning the evacuation of Japanese Americans from the West Coast in 1942. Most of the material was generated by the U.S. Western Defense Command and Fourth Army, a division of the Headquarters and Wartime Civil Control Administration.
It was preserved by Miyamoto because of his research on the Seattle Japanese minority for his master's thesis in sociology at the University of Washington ("Social Solidarity Among the Japanese in Seattle," 1938, published as v. 11, no. 2 of the University of Washington Publications in the Social Sciences, 1939; reprinted with a new introduction by the University of Washington Press in 1981 and 1984).
