Abstract: The War Relocation Authority (WRA) was
created on March 18, 1942, by Executive Order of the President, No. 9102. This new
civilian agency was to be responsible for "the relocation (of evacuees) in
appropriate places, providing for their needs in such manner as may be appropriate, and
supervising their activities." The collection consists of reports, memoranda, news
clippings, news digests, statistics, and other documents issued by the War Relocation
Authority leading up to, during, and following the period of Japanese
internment.
