Photo Replications of Takeyasu Family

This series has an indeterminable GMD—digital object is not available at this time.

This series consists of photo replications made from original photographs of the Takeyasu family. The series consists of one file pertaining to photo replications from a source identified as the "tan album with black pages." The originals of these replications were taken after the Takeyasu families removal from British Columbia and their resettlement on a sugar beet farm in Alberta.

George Takeyasu was born in 1925 in Hiroshima, Japan. His parents, Shizuyo and Nobuich had moved to Canada in 1920, the year they had married, but later returned to Japan in 1922, the year in which Yoshiaki, George's brother was born. Two years following George's birth, the family returned to Canada and established a tailor/dry cleaning shop on Broadway, in Vancouver B.C. In 1928 Yoshiaki passed away and the family business was sold off. Nobuichi then established a chiropractic office. In 1930 Shigeto, another son, was born. Later the family moved to Ruskin, B.C. and in 1934 a daughter, Matsuko was born.

No digital copies of the records were acquired by the Landscapes of Injustice Research Collective between 2014 and 2018.
