This collection contains 1 oversized scrapbook created by and documenting the history of the Orange County Japanese American Youths organization (OC JAYs). It also includes a folder of loose materials that were found inside the scrapbook.

This collection's scrapbook was compiled by members of the Orange County Japanese American Youths (OC JAYs) organization that was prominent from the 1950s to the early 1970s. The first OC JAYs event took place in July 1954 when Janet Fukuda and Jun Nishino invited other young Japanese Americans living in the Santa Ana area (Orange County, CA) to a picnic and baseball game. OC JAYs was founded that year under the organizational umbrella of the Orange County chapter of the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL).
