William J. Hudson collection, 1941-1993.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/300915494

The Hudson papers cover the years of 1941 to 1993. William Hudson assisted Roger Pineau's effort to research the US Navy's Japanese Language School (JLS) at the University of Colorado at Boulder. The first section contains documents from the WWII years, such as JLS rosters and academic and service lists of Japanese Language Officers (JLOs). The second section holds documents regarding the 1976 and 1992 reunions. The third and largest section of the collection consists of individual files of correspondence between Hudson and various JLS graduates. Often included in these files are newspaper clippings, biographies, obituaries, and articles written by individual graduates. The fourth section contains a cross-index by subject file and a cross index of JLS Trivia. The Hudson Collection focuses more thoroughly on the post-war careers and lives of the JLS graduates than does the Pineau Collection.
