Album Japanese American Relocation Digital Archives

Title: Manzanar, Calif.--Mealtime during early days after evacuation at Manzanar, now a War Relocation Authority center for evacuees of Japanese ancestry. In housing, as well as at meal times, family life is observed. -- Photographer: Albers, Clem -- Manzanar, California. 4/2/42
Contributing Institution: The Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley.

With thousands of residents, the internment camps inevitably became communities where families carried on with the details of daily life: adults worked, children went to school. This topic illustrates much of the daily life of internees, including camp administration, sleeping/eating/personal care, work, social life, study, events, relocation, and resettlement. The images show daily life as the government portrayed it in "publicity" photographs taken by government photographers, and through the art and camera lenses of the internees who lived it.
