Weaving camouflage nets,Flaherty Collection: Japanese Internment Records, MSS-2006-02, San Jose State University, Special Collections & Archives. Caption on album page: "This is another view of the process of making camouflage nets at Santa Anita (California) Assembly Center. It is termed "garnishing". A "pattern net" with a design woven into it was first set up and over it placed a plain net. Weavers worked burlap strips into the top net, following exactly the pattern net as to color or burlap and weaving design. The women at work are Japanese-American citizens."
