Summary

From the Collection:

Contains the records of the Survivors of Wake, Guam and Cavite, Inc. The organization was founded in 1959 from a group of civilian workers that were taken prisoner at Wake at the beginning of World War II and interned for the duration of the war in China and Japan. The organization was formed to promote fellowship among the survivors and their families and promote the general welfare of the members. The group was organized under a constitution and recognized as a non-profit corporation under Idaho law.

Included in the collection are the group's original and amended constitution and by-laws and minutes from board meetings and annual conventions. The Survivors of Wake, Guam and Cavite Inc. dissolved in 2003 due to the advancing age of its remaining members.
