Description
Photo album compiled by Seiko Ishida, a Japanese American Kibei woman, features photographs of friends and family during her time living and working as a private teacher to a missionary family in Japan in the 1930s; documenting her friends and family living in the western United States prior to World War II; her time working in the produce section of a grocery store in Los Angeles; and chronicling her incarceration at Manzanar where she worked as a primary school teacher. The Japanese American Relocation Collection is composed of ephemera related to the relocation program during World War II. Items include the official government report of Manzanar Relocation Center, a photo album, post-war activism materials related to preserving and remembering the camps, various clippings, and documents. The strength of this collection is found in its many perspectives on the controversial relocation program and how it has been presented since World War II.
