PhotographsThe Hawaii War Records Depository contains a wealth of photographs documenting various aspects of life in Hawaii during World War II. These photographs are an important resource depicting the military activities in Hawaii, life on the homefront, and the military's relationship with Hawaii's civilian population during the war. The HWRD photographs include approximately 1,330 wartime photos from Hawaii's two leading newspapers, the Honolulu Advertiser and the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, and over 880 photographs from the U.S. Army Signal Corps and the U.S. Navy, as well as photos from private photographers in Hawaii. The photographs document a wide range of topics, including: the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor; military facilities, personnel, and training; civilian defense; civilian and military recreation activities; the USO, Red Cross, and other service organizations; the Governor's Work to Win Campaign; ceremonies, parades, and memorials; and life on the homefront, including war bond sales, victory gardens, and salvage drives. Also included are photographs depicting Hawaii's Japanese American veterans, including members of the 100th Infantry Battalion and the 442nd Regimental Combat Team.
