Administrative Information

Provenance

The Japanese American Evacuation and Resettlement Records are comprised of two separate donations. The War Relocation Authority (WRA) designated the University of California, Berkeley library as the prime depository for WRA record materials outside the National Archives on September 7, 1945. The records of the Japanese American Evacuation and Resettlement Study (JERS) were deposited in the University Library by Dorothy Swaine Thomas, Director, in August 1948. In 1954-1955, Edward N. Barnhart integrated the two collections and created an inventory; the resulting collection was transferred to The Bancroft Library on July 3, 1963. Additions were made in October 1977 (by Conrad Taeuber, Director) and in 1988 (by Ann R. Miller) of materials recovered after Dorothy Thomas's death from her office at the Center for Population Research in Washington, D.C.

Funding

Microfilm preservation, processing, rehousing, and the creation of a new finding aid for the collection and additions were funded by a Library Services and Construction Act (LSCA), Title III: Networking, Preservation and Statewide Resource-sharing grant from the California State Library, 1994-1996.

Access

The collection is open for research with the following restrictions:

Microfilm is to be used instead of originals.
Use of originals is permitted only by written permission of the curator.
Identity of evacuees mentioned in diaries and other personal documents created by employees of the Japanese Evacuation and Resettlement Study (JERS) are protected until 2015 or the death of the person named. Such restricted materials are indicated in the finding aid by a double asterisk.

Scope and Content

The Japanese American Evacuation and Resettlement Records resulted from the integration of two major collections: the records of the War Relocation Authority (WRA) and the records of the Japanese American Evacuation and Resettlement Study (JERS) at the University of California, Berkeley. Edward N. Barnhart combined the two collections in 1954-1955. While the resulting combination provides an unprecedented picture of the Japanese-American evacuation, relocation, incarceration, and resettlement during World War II, the collection's size and organization is complex. For help with Barnhart's organizing principles, please read the Overview of Arrangement and the Description of Parts and Sectionsbeginning on page xi.

WAR RELOCATION AUTHORITY (WRA) RECORDS

The War Relocation Authority (WRA) records represent the official documentation of the United States agency created to assume jurisdiction over the Japanese and Japanese Americans evacuated from California, Oregon, and Washington by the Western Defense Command, the Fourth Army, and the Wartime Civilian Control Administration (WCCA) during January/February of 1942. During its existence from March 1942 to 1946, the WRA controlled the administration of the relocation centers, administered an extensive resettlement program, and oversaw the details of the registration and segregation programs. Included in their records are administrative files, official publications, reports and surveys, legal papers, correspondence, and occasionally, photographs and scrapbooks. Divisions and offices represented encompass the Washington, D.C. head office, Western Field Office, district and area resettlement offices, the ten relocation centers, Leupp isolation center, and the Bureau of Sociological Research. Also included are miscellaneous materials from other Federal and State agencies involved with the internment, including the Western Defense Command and WCCA.

Although Bancroft's WRA records were originally thought to be duplicates of The National Archives' collection, Records of the War Relocation Authority, 1942-1946: Field Basic Documentation, the two collections are not identical. The Bancroft Library holds a copy of the National Archives (NARA) microfilm (cataloged as BANC FILM 1932). The materials in the Japanese American Evacuation and Resettlement Recordscollection have been compared with the NARA film in order to prevent microfilm duplication of documents. In cases where the National Archives film included materials in the Bancroft's collection, the container listing notes their location on the NARA film inside bold square brackets [NARA Reel __, Folder __]following the item description.

The War Relocation Authority photographs were transferred to the Pictorial Collections of The Bancroft Library and are cataloged as: War Relocation Authority Photographs: Evacuation and Resettlement (BANC PIC 1967.014). The photographic collection contains approximately 7000 photographs covering pre-evacuation, evacuation, assembly centers, relocation, life in the "relocation centers," segregation, and the resettlement program. These photographs have been digitized and will be available online in the Heller Reading Room of The Bancroft Library.

THE JAPANESE AMERICAN EVACUATION AND RESETTLEMENT STUDY (JERS) RECORDS

The Japanese American Evacuation and Resettlement Study (JERS) was established at the University of California, Berkeley in early 1942. Directed by Dorothy Swaine Thomas, the Study monitored the sociological, political, economic, and legal dimensions of the relocation program. Evacuees, hired to document their own and others' experiences, reported on both specific situations and life in general during their stays in the assembly and relocation centers. Their often extensive accounts of camp life come in the form of journals, diaries, and field reports. In addition, they compiled case histories, conducted interviews with evacuees and WRA staff, studied group behavior, and performed statistical surveys. The JERS administrative records contain extensive correspondence with field workers, staff, evacuees, and others.

Throughout the collection are gatherings of primary and secondary research materials collected by Dorothy Swaine Thomas, and her staff, particularly Rosalie Hankey Wax and Morton Grodzins. These include reports, surveys, theses, and other writings. Correspondence indicates that at least two persons gave significant amounts of material to the Study. Galen M. Fisher sent Dorothy Thomas material concerning his work with Japanese American student relocation and with organizations concerned about the human rights issues surrounding internment; the Galen M. Fisher files comprise Part II, Section 13. Alexander H. Leighton sent the Study his office files from the Bureau of Sociological Research at Poston in October of 1944; the Bureau's files (formerly cataloged as BANC MSS 72/233) follow the JERS material in Part II, Section 5: Poston Relocation Center.

Several separately catalogued segments of the collection have been identified during processing and microfilming and have been reincorporated into the collection at appropriate places. Part II, Section 5: Poston includes a set of seven high school scrapbooks (formerly BANC MSS C-A 195). Part V includes former BANC MSS 89/46 c, which contained the original typescript copies of Rosalie Hankey Wax's field notes and miscellaneous reports done by Hankey for JERS; and, former BANC MSS 78/53 c consisting of miscellaneous correspondence and research regarding the Study. Both collections were given to The Bancroft Library after Dorothy Thomas's death.

Overview of Arrangement

When Edward N. Barnhart integrated the War Relocation Authority Records and the Japanese American Evacuation and Resettlement Study Records in 1954-1955, he divided the combined collection into Parts and Sections. The Part divisions were primarily event-related; Section divisions were subject or organization based. Folders within each Section were assigned an arbitrary letter/number classification. To facilitate the transition from the Barnhart inventory of original material to the new finding aid linked to the microfilmed materials and based on a reprocessed, expanded, and rehoused collection, we have endeavored to retain Barnhart's arrangement and numbering system.

In general, documents are still located under their original Part and Section designations. However, identical material appearing in more than one place in the collection was retained in the most appropriate Section or, if not readily apparent, in the folder in which it first appears.

Letter/number designations within the Sections may be significantly different from the Barnhart inventory. Folder contents may have been split into two or more numbers to permit a more accurate description of material including office of origination, name of author, title, and date of creation if the information is available. Multiple numbers for a single type of material were often eliminated by using multiple folders under one number. Examples of these include minutes of a particular organization, such as block managers meetings. Divisional closing reports have been pulled together and listed as "final reports," usually at the end of the WRA segment for each center.

Folder numbers eliminated (due to duplication of material) in processing have sometimes been reassigned to other material and new numbers have been created in order to insert material at appropriate places. Part V (W's), which consists of material received after Barnhart's inventory was created, has been arranged into Parts, Sections, and assigned arbitrary letter/number designations to correspond with Barnhart's system. Within folders, material is arranged chronologically when appropriate.

Throughout the Container Listing, real names of individuals have been listed rather than the pseudonyms used extensively by the Study, if available. Much of the material containing real names is restricted and is so identified by a double asterisk **. Access is provided to these item(s) with the understanding that the identity of evacuees mentioned therein will not be disclosed by the researcher without the express permission of the evacuee. This restriction is in effect until 2015 or until the death of the evacuee named, whichever occurs first. Notice: This material may be protected by copyright law (Title 17 U.S. Code).

Reminder: The Bancroft Library holds a copy of the National Archives (NARA) microfilm: Records of the War Relocation Authority, 1942-1946: Field Basic Documentation, cataloged as BANC FILM 1932. The materials in Bancroft's Japanese American Evacuation and Resettlement Records collection have been compared with the NARA film in order to prevent microfilm duplication of documents. In cases where the National Archives film included materials in the Bancroft's collection, the container listing notes their location on the NARA film inside bold square brackets [NARA Reel __, Folder __] following the item description.

JERS material is arranged alphabetically by author, when appropriate. Includes diaries, journals, field notes, case histories, reports, copies of correspondence, and research notes. May include WRA documents and/or other material collected by staff members, and Papers studies, reports, and theses written by staff members. The total amount of material available for a given center varies depending on the center's size (for WRA material) and the amount of JERS involvement.

JERS concentrated on Tule Lake with Gila River as a secondary focus. The initial 1942 JERS staff were all trained in the social sciences, and all recruited from the University of California, Berkeley campus except for Shotaro Frank Miyamoto, University of Chicago. Tamotsu Shibutani, Haruo Najima, Charles Kikuchi, Tamie Tsuchiyama, and Shotaro Frank Miyamoto were Japanese American Nisei; James Sakoda was a Kibei. Morton Grodzins, Virginia L. Galbraith, Robert Billigmeier, and Robert F. Spencer were Caucasians.

Except for Grodzins and Galbraith, who worked out of the JERS office in Berkeley as liaisons to various governmental agencies, the staff worked as participant-observers in the assembly and relocation centers. Originally Shibutani, Sakoda, Najima, Miyamoto, and Billigmeier were sent to Tule Lake, but when Tule Lake became a segregation center, Sakoda and Najima were transferred to Minidoka. Tsuchiyama was assigned to Poston. Kikuchi and Spencer were assigned to Gila River. When Spencer left JERS in 1943, Rosalie Hankey replaced him at Gila and, after six months there, transferred to Tule Lake. Two other Japanese Americans played significant roles in gathering material for JERS: Togo Tanaka (a Nisei at Manzanar) and Richard S. Nishimoto (an Issei at Poston).

COLORADO RIVER RELOCATION CENTER - POSTON, ARIZONA (J)

Scope and Content Note

Arrangement

Divided into five sub-sections: WRA; JERS; Relocation Center Publications; Bureau of Sociological Research (BSR); and Newspaper Clippings. The BSR sub-section is further divided into Administrative Files, Reports and Writings, and Subject Files.

Poston, called the Colorado River Relocation Center by the WRA, was the largest of the centers. Located on an Indian Reservation near Parker, Arizona, the center was originally administered by the Office of Indian Affairs as three separate cities. Poston's complex political structure, its size, the presence of two JERS staff (Tsuchiyama and Nishimoto), and the inclusion of the Bureau of Sociological Research (BRS) files accounts for the largest accumulation of material on a single center in the collection.

Poston WRA material contains an extensive gathering of educational materials including the Poston High School scrapbooks (fJ 2.348) formerly cataloged as BANC MSS C-A 195. Positive microfilm of Out of the Desert [Reel 379] was made from the microfilm of a similar album held by Special Collection/Archives of the J. Paul Leonard Library, San Francisco State University (in the Marguerite Archer Collection of Historic Children's Materials -Manuscripts), so as not to require disbinding of the albums in this collection. JERS material includes Richard S. Nishimoto's and Tamie Tsuchiyama's subject files, and Nishimoto's 1943-1945 journal.

BSR records (formerly cataloged separately as BANC MSS 72/233 p) consists of administrative files, a small amount of correspondence, sociological journals, notes, staff observations, interviews, writings, reports and subject files. Alexander Leighton (U.S. Navy) directed the BSR during 1942-1943. Jointly administered by the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Indian Service, and the WRA, the BSR used applied psychology and social anthropology to analyze situations. Their mission was to improve the administration at Poston. Employees included Edward H. Spicer, Elizabeth Colson, Tom Sasaki, Chica Sugino, Hisako Fujii, Misao Furuta, Iwao Ishino, Mary Kinoshita, June Kushino, Yoshiharu Matsumoto, Florence Mohri, Akiko Nishimoto, Jyuichi Sato, James Sera, Gene Sogioka, George Yamaguchi, Toshio Yatsushiro, and Kazue Uyeno.
