Photographs from Tule Lake.
Japanese Relocation Photographs (P0144)
Tule Lake, in northern California, was one of the most infamous of the
internment camps. Prisoners there held frequent demonstrations and
strikes, demanding their rights under the U.S. Constitution. As a result,
it was made a "segregation camp," and internees from other camps who had
refused to take the loyalty oath or had caused disturbances were sent to
Tule Lake. At its peak, Tule Lake held 18,789 internees. Tule Lake was
also one of the last camps to be closed, staying open until March 20,
1946.
The photographs in this exhibit represent a sampling of
the resources available in the Special Collections Department, J. Willard
Marriott Library, University of Utah.
