Romanzo Adams Social Research Laboratory:
War Brides Interview Project

A1988:007

The War Brides Interview Project consists of transcripts of a series of interviews conducted by the Social Research Laboratory or as it later became known as, the Romanzo Adams Social Research Laboratory. The subjects were, primarily, brides who married husbands met during World War II. Most, if not all, the couples consist of one spouse from the Allied and one spouse from the Axis countries.

The materials in the collection came to the Archives in October 1989 in a large accession of materials from Mrs. Andrew Lind, the widow of Emeritus Professor Lind of the Department of Sociology at the University of Hawaii and former director of the Social Research Laboratory following the death of Dr. Romanzo Adams in 1942.
