This collection contains materials collected by the Cooks during their employment at Tule Lake. Much of the collection focuses on education, although there are also materials of a more general and of a more specifically personal nature. Of particular interest are faculty narratives describing the problems of teaching in a relocation center and student autobiographies chronicling their adjustment to relocation. The collection also contains substantial clippings and report files that document the segregation of "disloyal" Japanese-Americans at Tule Lake, the uprising of 1943, and the repatriation to Japan of "disloyals" following the War. The Cook Collection also contains a small body of materials pertaining to Centers other than Tule Lake (see Index)
