Description
The Dale Ann Sato Collection documents the progression of research and preparation for four projects to which oral historian and educator Dale Ann Sato contributed. Initial research and interviews were recorded for community Nisei oral histories, which led to her contribution to the California Civil Liberties Public Education Program (CCLPEP). The findings of the initial research also led to the Japanese American Historical Mapping Project (JAHMP), which paved the way for an Arcadia Publishing book, Japanese Americans of the South Bay (2009). The materials focus on Japanese American farming families living in the South Bay region of Los Angeles, in particular Gardena, Torrance, Lomita, Harbor City, Carson, Wilmington, and the Palos Verdes Peninsula from the early 1900s through World War II.
