Description
A booklet circulated “to explain the War Relocation Work Corps” to the incarcerees, including the explanation of “the whole evacuation and relocation program.” It details the Work Corps, including eligibility, enlistment, obligations, types of work, incomes, and furloughs. It also describes “approved relocation areas,” including Manzanar, Parker, Gila, Tulelake, and Minidoka. The Usui Family Papers consist of documents pertaining to the family's experiences of the forced evacuation and incarceration during World War II. The Usui Family was incarcerated in the Tule Lake camp, California, and transferred to the Minidoka camp, Idaho. Included are correspondence, gate pass, receipts, census conducted among Issei incarcerees, student report cards, lists of transfers from Tule Lake to Minidoka, a directory of the incarcerees in the Minidoka camp, and publications. All items originally belonged to the Donald Teruo Hata and Nadine Ishitani Hata Asian Pacific Studies Collection.
