From this file, LOI has digitized one textual record or image.

This file primarily consists of reports on "suspicious" Japanese Canadian activity (e.g., people taking pictures of the coast, possession of machine guns and firearms) and of correspondence tracking either a) the movement of Japanese fishing/shipping vessels across the ocean, or b) Japanese Canadian individuals' (or companies') intended purchase of land on the coast. This file provides a sense of the level of co-operation between the Department of National Defence, the RCMP, the Department of Mines and Natural Resources pertaining to Japanese Canadians just prior to the war.

The digital copies of the records were acquired by the Landscapes of Injustice Research Collective between 2014 and 2018.

This record was digitized selectively.
