| Title: |
George Yuzawa Papers |
| Dates [inclusive]: |
circa 1900-2009 |
| Abstract: |
The collection, spanning in date from 1908 to 2009, documents the life and work of
Japanese American activist George Yuzawa through meeting minutes, reports, correspondence,
notes, legal documents, press releases, newsletters, clippings, event flyers and programs,
posters, buttons, video, audio, books, scrapbooks and photographs. The bulk of materials
date from the 1940s—the time of his forced removal and incarceration at American concentration
camps and his World War II military service—and from the 1970s through 1990s, during
which he actively served in leadership positions in numerous Asian American organizations,
including JAA, JACL, JAHFA, JAUC, and JANM. The oldest material in the collection
is a subject file containing personal documents belonging to Nobuji Ashikaga (how
or why Yuzawa acquired this is unknown). The most recent materials in the collection
are contextual notes that daughter Patricia Yuzawa-Ruben sent to accompany the second
accrual to the collection.
