Japanese American Relocation Digital Archives (JARDA)
California Digital Library, University of California, CA, USA
Self-description: "[A] digital 'thematic collection' within the CDL's OAC [California Digital Library's (CDL) Online Archive of California (OAC) - ed.] documenting the experience of Japanese Americans in World War II internment camps. Curators from the eight participating OAC members selected a broad range of primary sources to be digitized, including: photographs, documents, manuscripts, paintings, drawings, letters, and oral histories. Over 10,000 digital images have been created complimented by 20,000 pages of electronic transcriptions of document and oral histories. Access to the digital content will be provided through USMARC catalog records in MELVYL (the UC online union catalog) and by Encoded Archival Description (EAD) finding aids in the OAC. Electronic texts have been marked up according to the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) standard."
