Abstract The Japanese oral histories (1964-1969) consist of transcripts of a number of interviews conducted between 1964 and 1969 by members of the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL) in Los Angeles, California, as part of the Japanese American Research Project. The original reel-to-reel tapes are housed at the University of California at Los Angeles. Topics discussed include immigration, social life and customs, adaptation to life in the United States, and the effects of World War II.
