Eleven scrapbooks of newspaper clippings compiled by Margaret Makino regarding participation by Americans of Japanese Ancestry in the war effort. The sub-subseries focuses on members of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team and 100th Infantry Battalion but also includes articles about AJAs serving as interpreters. The books have been very carefully compiled, and several have pages at the front containing the signatures of their users, which include veterans of the 442nd and 100th. While the clippings are predominantly from the Honolulu Star-Bulletin and the Honolulu Advertiser, several other publications (chiefly from Hawaii) are also represented, including: Hawaii Herald, Pacific Citizen, Hawaii Times, and Maui News. These scrapbooks are duplicated on reels 2, 51, 52, 53, 54, and 63 of the microfilmed portion of the HWRD. Additional Makino scrapbooks can be found on reels 1, 18, and 64. According to the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, Makino was a career secretary and worked for a number of important figures in Hawaii including Hawaii’s first attorney general, Shiro Kashiwa; Senator David McClung; and Congressman Spark Matsunaga.
