This description was provided by the seller and has not been verified for accuracy: "The collection includes an undated handwritten description of Poston, Arizona, which makes reference to earlier, mostly unsuccessful attempts to settle the town. A letter dated July 20, 1944, is written to Duncan Mills, Project Director, from Pauline Bates Brown, Reports Officer of the Colorado River Relocation Project, requesting a Junior Reports Officer to assist with clerical work. The photographs in the collection are mostly of a woman or a group of women in what appears to be Colorado with some photographs of Japanese American internees in groups, performing on stage, and some groups of those presumed to be employees and internees."

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
