Masaichi Goto Scrapbooks, 1940 October-1946 January
Scope and Content Note
This sub-subseries contains four scrapbooks compiled by Masaichi Goto, a veteran of the 100th Infantry Battalion. The first scrapbook, with “Nisei” emblazoned on its cover, contains clippings from a variety of publications with isolated photographs of Goto. The remaining three scrapbooks contain mostly clippings, but also certificates, letters, and transcripts. Clippings are not limited to Hawaii publications (such as the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, Honolulu Advertiser, and Maui News) but include national publications and clippings from newspapers in other states (like the Los Angeles Times and the Chicago Tribune). Scrapbooks contain a significant number of clippings from Wisconsin newspapers (such as the La Crosse Tribune, Milwaukee Sentinel and The Sparta Herald) from when the 100th was stationed at Camp McCoy. Scrapbooks are principally focused on the 100th Infantry Battalion, but other issues concerning nisei are also covered. Duplicates of these scrapbooks and other material donated to the HWRD by Goto can be found on reel 31 of the microfilmed portion of the HWRD. Furthermore, a diary written by Goto titled “My Life in the Service” can be found on reel 47 of the microfilmed materials.
