Audiovisual
Scope and Contents
There are a large number of photographs, many of which are unlabeled. Of special interest are those from Matsunaga’s childhood and U.S. Army service. Audiotapes are of similar material; many have minimal labels or none at all. Sixteen phonograph records were retained and re-recorded onto cassette tapes; all are amateur recordings, mostly from the 1940s. Nine have the voices of Matsunaga, his family or friends. Four contain the sermon of U.S. Army chaplain Israel Yost reading “Let the Dead Pass By” at an Oct. 5, 1947, memorial service for the 100th Infantry Battalion.
