Wyatt B. 2012. Japanese Americans in World War II. National Historic Landmark Theme Studies. National Park Service. Washington, DC

The purpose of the Japanese Americans in World War II National Historic Landmark Theme Study is to help evaluate sites that are potentially eligible for designation as National Historic Landmarks and to provide historic contexts for the theme of Japanese American incarceration in the United States during Word War II. The publication was edited by Barbara Wyatt, Historian, National Historic Landmarks Program with Contributions from S. Curtis Breckenridge and Marilyn Harper. The theme study is based in part on Confinement and Ethnicity by Jeffery F. Burton, Mary M. Farrell, Florence B. Lord, Richard W. Lord - NPS Western Archeological and Conservation Center, Tucson, Arizona, 1999.
