Visual Materials

A photograph and scrapbook album compiled by Alice S. Arikawa, a young Japanese American woman in Los Angeles, California, that chronicles her youth from 1934 to 1942, just before the Japanese American internment during World War II. Snapshot photographs are pasted on black paper pages, with captions by Arikawa written in white pencil. Images depict Arikawa and friends at Lafayette Junior High School, then Jefferson High School (both in central Los Angeles), and participating in a wide range of social and school activities in and around the Los Angeles area. She and a diverse group of friends are seen on beach outings, going to Santa Anita Park, the Huntington Library gardens (four images), attending a formal dance, and horseback riding. Other subjects are her family, a business correspondence class in 1936, and activities with the Kalifans, a Y.W.C.A. social group. The album's last images are dated March 1942, just before Arikawa's incarceration at the Manzanar War Relocation Center. The album contains a graduation class portrait taken inside Manzanar, but it does not appear that Arikawa is part of this group (she graduated from high school in 1937). Ephemeral items include school programs, and an identification card belonging to Arikawa's brother, John, age 15.
