Scope and Contents

From the Collection: The Sandra C. Taylor photograph collection contains 326 images collected and created by Taylor through the course of her academic research and her travels. Folders 1-3 contain copywork collected or created by Taylor for her book Jewel of the Desert: Japanese American Internment at Topaz (1993). Much of this material was created by the United States government's War Relocation Authority Board and may be duplicative of photographs in other collections. Folders 1-3 are black-and-white copy prints produced from material held at other institutions, primarily the Utah State Historical Society. Folders 4-5 includes copy slides and photographs taken by Taylor of art and photographs in other collections.

Folders 6-8 contain photographs taken by Sandra Taylor of events that she attended and documented, including a reunion of former incarcerees at Topaz in 1983.

Folders 9-13 contain slides and black-and-white and color prints that were primarily created by Taylor on trips to Vietnam while conducting research for her book Vietnamese Women at War: Fighting for Ho Chi Minh and the Revolution (1999).
