Marlene J. Mayo oral histories
Collection
0015-GWP
Between 1978 and 1992, Marlene Mayo, Professor of History at the University of Maryland, and one assistant conducted 100 interviews with Americans who planned or served in the Allied Occupation of Japan, 1945-1952. The interviewees worked in a variety of political, legal, economic and cultural activities at all levels and form a cross-section of Americans involved in the Occupation. The first year of the project was funded by the Japan Foundation. The interviews were recorded on cassette tapes, and the transcripts were typewritten. The interviews and transcripts have been digitized.
