Series 2: Onomastic Files

 Series

Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

This collection was organized by Richard J. DeMartino during his tenure as one of the "historian advisors" to the International Military Tribunal for the Far East between 1946-1948.

The files contain excerpts of official documents, documents, and DeMartino's handwritten notes. Excerpts from the diary of Marquis Kōichi Kido are present in each file, as if DeMartino was using Kido's notes as a guide to the research he was working on. There are also many excerpts from Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States Japan: 1931-1941, Washinton: U.S. Govt. Print. Off., 1943, 2 v.

The collection is divided in 5 series and two files of unrelated materials to the IMTFE:

Series 1: Ephemeris Files – consist of a detail account of day to day information beginning 1 – 10 January 1936- 10 March; 10 March 1941 to 1948.

Series 2: Onomastic Files – consist of files of persons related to the IMTFE.

Series 3: Miscellaneous Files: translations and other related files.

Series 4: Printed materials

Series 5: Photographs

Other materials not related to the IMTFE

DeMartino inscribed the documents with two annotations: a last name and a number. Special Collections kept these annotations between brackets [ ].
