The Japanese-American Relocation collection consists of photographs of the internment camps established during World War II. The photographs were taken at Tule Lake, California from 1942 to 1943 and are representative of the conditions of the camps and the life-styles of the Japanese-Americans who lived in them. There are photographs of living quarters, classrooms, parades, office workers, and farm laborers. For other photographs of Japanese-Americans, see the following collections: Alice Kasai, P0442, Henry Kasai, P0149, Faith Terasawa, P0602, and Topaz and Hispanics in Utah, P0318.
