The collection consists of the papers of the Patrick H. Frank family from 1898-1992. The papers include correspondence, materials relating to the Franks' internment in the Philippines, photographs, printed material, and audio-visual materials. The collection mainly focuses on the Franks' experience just prior to and during World War II. The collection contains little documentation regarding Patrick H. Frank's service in the United States Army other than newspaper clippings of the letters that he wrote to his mother which were published in the GROVETON HERALD (Texas). The majority of the internment camp series consists of the records of the Davao Internment Camp, where Samuel B. Frank served as secretary. The records include minutes of executive board minutes, diaries of daily activities, correspondence with Japanese government officials, financial records and ephemera. Records of the Santa Tomás Internment Camp include receipts, passes and meal tickets.
