After the administration approved the order, Japanese Americans, some of them American citizens, had to leave their homes, businesses, and most of their personal property. The United States Treasury was responsible for protecting the property they left behind. The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco administered the evacuee property program for the Treasury. This collection consists of selected records that reflect the bank's tasks in assisting evacuees and arranging the disposition of property. eng Record Group 210 collection 1932-03-18 2016-01-01 6151 2025-12-18 15:25:45 2020-07-20 08:57:59 title 6297 6301 https://catalog.archives.gov/id/537 https://www.archives.gov/research/guide-fed-records/groups/210.html https://www.archives.gov/education/lessons/japanese-relocation archival material http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/CNE/1.0/
