Abstract: 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.
Language of Material: Collection material is in English and Japanese.

Biography
Dale Ann Sato is an oral historian, author, and a college educator. Sato was born in 1946 at Seaside Hospital in Long Beach,
California, and spent her childhood in the South Bay area of Los Angeles. Sato studied Elementary Education, Occupational
Therapy, Bilingual-Bicultural Education, and developed her interest in missionary studies, Nisei oral histories, and local
South Bay history in 1998-1999 in the UCLA Asian American Studies Department. She is the founder of the Japanese American
Historical Mapping Project (JAHMP), dedicated to recording the history of the communities and land of the South Bay from the
early 1900s through the 1950s.
Scope and Content
The Dale Ann Sato Collection (1800-2012;undated) contains 27 boxes and 16.34 linear feet that documents the progression of
research and preparation for four projects for which oral historian and educator Dale Ann Sato contributed. Initial research
and interviews were conducted to record community Nisei oral histories. This history led to Sato's contribution to the California
Civil Liberties Public Education Program (CCLPEP). The CCLPEP collected materials documenting the many Japantown areas in
California, which were then included in the collections at the California State Library in Sacramento. This work led to continued
research and creation of the Japanese American Historical Mapping Project (JAHMP), documenting the Japanese American farming
communities in the South Bay region of Los Angeles, California. Interest in the JAHMP research led to the creation of Sato's
Arcadia Publishing book, Japanese Americans of the South Bay (2009). The South Bay region spans the south western area of
Los Angeles, and includes the cities of Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Torrance, Wilmington, Harbor City, Gardena, Lomita,
Carson, and the Palos Verdes Peninsula among others. The materials within the collection were primarily gathered between 2002
and 2007, with most of the interviews occurring between 2004 and 2007. The discussions, subjects, and items within the collection
are focused on the early 1900s through the 1950s. The collection contains project proposals, reports and lectures, correspondence,
yearbooks, photographs – physical and digital, audio interviews, videos, newspaper articles, maps – physical and digital,
posters, newspaper reproductions,interview consent forms, oral history transcripts, and other material. The reports within
the collection describe the lifestyle and communities of first generation Japanese emigrants ("Issei") and their children
("Nisei"), collectively referred to as the Nikkei. In particular the materials track the farming practices, community, and
locations of those families in the South Bay region. Interview recordings in the collection were conducted with descendants
of the early Nikkei of the South Bay to record the narrative of farm life during the early 1900s, focusing on locations and
landmarks, and leading up to the relocation of the Nikkei during World War II. The interviews were recorded between 2004 and
2007, and are stored on mini DVD-Rs and CD-Rs. The photographic materials and maps in the Dale Ann Sato Collection were culled
from a variety of sources. The majority of the physical photographic objects are low quality computer reprints from public
libraries and archives, used as reference while selecting images for the Arcadia Publishing book, Japanese Americans of the
South Bay (2009). The collection also includes original photos donated by families, postcards, and digital prints made from
stills of a Japanese American Farming DVD (also in the collection). High resolution digital copies of the photographs collected
while preparing the book are stored on CD-Rs and flash drive storage devices. Map reprints in the Sato Collection show the
areas around the South Bay, in some cases stretch north to include the entire state of California, and east to include some
of the border area of Arizona. The Dale Ann Sato Collection may be helpful to researchers who are looking for information
on early Japanese settlement in the Los Angeles area, farm production in California during the early 1900s, land layout of
the South Bay region with focus on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, and the treatment of Japanese emigrants and Japanese American
citizens following the Pearl Harbor attack in 1941. Photographs in the collection may be useful as reference tool, but many
of the images used in Japanese Americans of the South Bay were licensed for a one-time use, and may not be reproduced by the
archives. In addition, some of the maps in the Sato collection have been reprinted by other archival institutions, and the
materials may be viewed with this collection, but may not be reproduced.
