Research files

This subseries includes research files primarily compiled by Kathleen Merken that contain correspondence between Merken and other Japanese Canadians, copies of other families’ recollections and accounts of their forced removal, and other reference materials such as maps, timelines, and excerpts from text that help to contextualize and document this history.

Translations

This subseries contains the translations of Minoru Kudo's diaries performed by Kathleen Merken between 2005 and 2011. Records include printed copies of the translations as well as logs and notes made by Merken as she was translating the diaries. This subseries also contains materials produced by Merken that focus on her vision for the publication of the translations, analysis of themes that she identified throughout the material, and some reflections on her experience of translating the diaries.

Translations

Series documents the work of Kathleen Kudo to translate Minoru Kudo’s diaries as well as the research performed by the Kudo family to document the history and experiences of the Mission City Japanese Community.

Records in this series include logs relating to the translation and photocopying activity of Kathleen Merken; her translation notes; additional documents related to ideas about publication and framing of the diaries and their historical value; and printed versions of the translations in various states of drafting. During the process of translation, Merken removed clippings and other ephemera that were initially preserved within the diaries of Minoru Kudo and placed them in their corresponding chronological place within the translations. As a result, these materials are also included within this series.

The series includes one subseries that contains the translation documents and a second that contains the research material.
