AC1 Donald Estes Research Collection AC1 Donald Estes Research Collection Dates: 1889 - 2004 Size: 11.5 linear feet (26 boxes) Abstract: Donald H. Estes (1936-2005) was a San Diego based historian and educator who wrote and taught about the Japanese American experience in both Southern California and the nation. This collection contains many of the books and articles he wrote, as well as his extensive research files. It also includes materials he collected from the Japanese American community in order to document their internment during World War II. Biographical/Historical Notes: Donald Hamilton Estes was born in Nebraska in 1936. He and his family moved to the San Diego’s North Park neighborhood in 1939. He entered San Diego City College in 1954, and completed BA and Master’s degrees from San Diego State University by 1966. In 1960, Estes began teaching Advanced History and Government at La Jolla High School, leaving the school in 1967 to become Professor of History and Political Science at San Diego City College. From 1969 to 1973, he also served as Adjunct Professor of Education at the University of California at San Diego, and held a similar position at San Diego State University during 1974-1975. Also during the 1970s, Estes performed curriculum development work for the California Department Education and served as a Fellowships Program Evaluator for the National Endowment for the Humanities. In 1986, San Diego City College awarded Estes the Golden Apple Award for Outstanding Teaching. He retired from San Diego City College in 2003. Estes sat on the Board of the San Diego Chapter of the Japanese American Citizens League from 1967 on, and served twice as president. He was a founding member of the Japanese American Historical Society of San Diego (JAHSSD) and served that organization as historian and curator. Estes was among the first historians to serve on the Scholarly Advisory Board of the Japanese American National Museum beginning in 1989. Estes' oral history interviews and research produced six books, published between 1971 and 1996. He also authored numerous scholarly articles, many published in the Journal of San Diego History. Estes also curated exhibitions and served as adviser or director of several films and video productions. At the time of his death, Estes was working on an extensive history of the Japanese in America. According to Ben Segawa, founding president and executive director of the Japanese American Historical Society of San Diego, “Estes was the acknowledged expert on the history of our community, the heart and soul of our organization. He was known as an inspiring teacher and in his scholarly pursuits, addressed what he called a natural void that was waiting to be filled.” 1 Estes both collected and generated significant materials that would otherwise not be available for research today. He died on May 7, 2005 at the age of 68. Scope and Content: Donald H. Estes (1936-2005) was a San Diego based historian and educator who wrote and taught about the Japanese American experience in Southern California and the nation. The bulk of this collection contains his research files for his many books and articles, his writings, as well as the sources he collected from the Japanese American community in order to document their internment during World War II. The research materials contain original documents as well as copies. Included are state and federal government reports and publications, photographs, and ephemera related to Japanese Americans and their activities. Resources also detail Japanese American businesses and organizations within the communities. Contents are in both English and Japanese. The writings of Donald Estes are also included as well as project materials related to California's Alien Land Laws, and a range of unique primary source materials pertinent to the study of Japanese and Japanese Americans in San Diego and California. This collection reflects his work as an educator and scholar, and represent an important resource for understanding Estes and his passion for and contributions to the study of Japanese Americans as well as being a comprehensive resource for students and scholars of the internment, resettlement and redress experiences of San Diego Japanese Americans.

In WWII, a handful of young Americans refused to be drafted from the American concentration camp at Heart Mountain, Wyoming. Organized under the banner of the Fair Play Committee, they were ready to fight for their country, but not before the government restored their rights as U.S. citizens and released their families from camp. It was a classic example of civil disobedience — but the government prosecuted them as criminals and Japanese American leaders and veterans ostracized them as traitors.

The historical era of the Caribbean has seen the decline and introduction of various different and opposing cultures. Because of this, the cultural landscape of the Caribbean today is one of the most diverse in the world. However, some of these cultures have been more extensively explored archaeologically than others. A few of the areas of study that have begun to receive more attention in recent years are contact era interaction, indentured labor populations, historical environment and landscape, re-excavation of colonial sites with new discoveries and interpretations, and other aspects of daily life in the colonial Caribbean. This symposium seeks to explore new areas of overlooked peoples, cultures, and activities that have

To my surprise, reading about the lives of the Nisei soldiers transformed the experience of just writing an essay about soldiers to an opportunity to honor the memories of their heroic actions through the way they served and lived their lives, making it a valuable moment to me. Through this contest, not only have I gained an understanding of the Nisei soldiers, but I realize that I’ve gained the privilege of holding their memories and wisdom—which feels like a great honor to be given. Through this contest, I’m thankful for the opportunity to learn about the sacrifices of these heroes.” Mark Frederick Penn State University at Altoona Sophomore (2014-2015 School Year) “As a long time student of history, the story of the Japanese Americans in World War II serves as a means of interest and inspiration for me (as it should for others).
