Satoru Maeda Heart Mountain Photo Album, circa 1930-1945

Satoru Maeda Heart Mountain Photo Album contains photographs mostly taken in the Heart Mountain incarceration camp in Cody, Wyoming, documenting life in the camp during World War II. Photographed are the facilities, jobs, sports events, and social activities at the camp. Included are interiors of a mess hall, laundry room, shower room, washroom, barber, and offices, buildings and workers of a fire station and police station, ambulance, electric panels, guard tower, livestock, construction sites including an irrigation canal or possibly the Heart Mountain Canal constructed by incarcerees, timber and farm workers, sports events for judo, baseball, and sumo, Bon dance, music performance, calligraphy class, and a trip to Yellowstone National Park. There are also photographs of the incarcerees who are being sent from the Heart Mountain camp to the Tule Lake Segregation Center and group photographs of male internees, presumably Issei and Kibei Nisei, at the Santa Fe Internment Camp in New Mexico. Some prewar photographs are also included.
