FRANCES & MARY MONTGOMERY COLLECTION

https://www.arizonahistoricalsociety.org/wp-content/upLoads/library_Montgomery-Francis-Mary.pdf

In the months following the United States’ declaration of war with Japan, thousands of Japanese-Americans who resided on the country’s west coast were told to evacuate their homes and resettle in communities managed by the United States government. One such community was the Gila River Relocation Center. From 1942-1945, Frances & Mary Montgomery were teachers at Butte High School located at Gila River. Various artifacts, newspapers, yearbooks and correspondence were collected and donated by the Montgomery sisters so others may learn about the history they lived through (1942-1983).
