I also came across digitized images of Japanese internment camp maps. A Bing search brought a map of Crystal City’s internment camp which was apparently done
by an internee with a sense of humor.

I have often had to resort to printing out online images to use in physical exhibits, giving full credit to the source, of course. As an archivist, I frequently
used digital reproductions of items for display where I was unable to filter light sources.

I didn’t come across any OSS maps of the WRA internment camps in my research, however, they may be among those still classified and listed as only “Map.”
Currently, I’m reading the book “Panic on the Pacific” which includes maps of the locations of the camps. My copy is at home, but I’ll check it tonight to see
if the author gives the sources for the maps.

Try searching for WRA Relocation camps. I found one in the google image search (https://www.mtholyoke.edu/~matsu22k/classweb/index2c.html ) and
also in Artstor.

All,
I know this group can help with Julie's need. She is curating an exhibit at her place soon and needs to either borrow or have scans made and mail to her maps of WWII
Japanese-American internment sites as soon as possible. Please respond directly to Julie if you can help. I know they're out there, would not be surprised if the OSS created some for instance. Julie's email address is:

Thanks in advance for assisting...

Paige,
We are having the darnedest time, finding a map of the Japanese American Internment sites. They're online, but we are putting up a show, so we need a map that can hang on the wall.
Any ideas?
