Overview
From Paula Curtis Collection[1]: This website tells some of the stories of Japanese people who lived in Orange County, California in the first half of the 20th century. The Orange County Japanese Experience (OCJE) website includes multiple detailed maps that show the movements and places of these individuals across many decades. The maps, which are derived from nearly thirty individuals’ oral testimony, allow you to click points and lines to learn more about a moment in time in a person’s life, toggle time to track how multiple moved over decades, and to turn off layers. Each map focuses on different people, areas of the world, or time periods. OCJE is also made up of three main theme pages, with multiple sub-themes and maps, that attempt to expose different facets of the historical OC Japanese communities.
