S. Frank Miyamoto collection, 1942.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/50038512

Consists primarily of ephemera concerning the evacuation of Japanese Americans from the West Coast in 1942. Most of the material was generated by the U.S. Western Defense Command and Fourth Army, a division of the Headquarters and Wartime Civil Control Administration. It was preserved by Miyamoto because of his research on the Seattle Japanese minority for his master's thesis in sociology at the University of Washington.
