Title	Japanese American Relocation Digital Archive (JARDA)
View collection at	http://www.calisphere.universityofcalifornia.edu/jarda/
Description	Most of the photos in this collection were taken by War Relocation Authority (WRA) photographers (e.g., Dorothea Lange) for publicity purposes. In contrast to the smiling faces in these photos, Estelle Ishigo's letters and paintings (e.g., "Japanese American woman and child, internees") suggest a somber mood. The collection also includes Yoshiko Uchida's diary and scrapbook, issues of the Manzanar Free Press newspaper, oral history interviews, and yearbooks.
