When The Emperor Was Divine
The Department of Special
Collections & University Archives at Sacramento State is
honored to be a part of this year's
One Book Program focusing on
the novel When the Emperor Was Divine, by
Julie Otsuka.
Our Japanese American
Archival Collection provides
valuable insights into the history of Japanese American
communities in northern California, particularly in the town of
Florin, California from the late 19th century and into the 20th
century. The collection contains significant documentation
related to the internment of Japanese-born and Japanese American
individuals during World War II and continues to serve as a
valuable resource to a broad range of users, including scholars,
teachers, students, writers, journalists and documentary film
producers.
