Les ressortissants canadiens confinés à Mytho

{
  "abstract": "This record is part of a group of data resources tracing European persons who were resident or serving in East Asia during the early 20th century and who were displaced as a result of national border changes and conflicts. It is one component of Divisive Power of Citizenship\u2014a project of the Institute for European Global Studies, Basel.The attached datasets contain the names of 20 Canadian citizens interned in the Civilian Internment Camp in Mytho, some 70 kilometres outside of Saigon. After the attack on Pearl Harbour, the Japanese Military pressured the French Administration in Indochina to intern the allied civilians in the colony. The list was compiled by the Swiss Consul in Saigon, Hans Hirsbrunner and was sent to the American delegation in early October 1943. It contains information about persons wishing to be repatriated to the United States on board the SS Teia Maru, which sailed from Saigon on 30th September 1943. The original documents are now held at the Swiss Federal Archives in Bern. This sub-collection has provided the Divisive Power of Citizenship and Loyalty (DPCL) project with one of its most valuable datasets to date\u2014supporting investigation of French citizens in French Indochina during World War II.Multiple datasets generated from the source material, including transcriptions of person entries (names, dates of birth and death where available, profession and often location, remarks and operating unit) and structured person instance data derived from them are provided. Key historic person instance information (appearances in documents), serialized as JSON according to a formal schema is available, together with the JSON Schema itself. This is intended for use by external applications, and can also be searched interactively using a DPCL presentation website (see below) which explains the datasets further. In contrast to transcription data, which represents the printed and hand-written source material, and is often organized inconsistently, the historic person instance data provided here enables reliable searching across multiple archival sources. The historic person instance JSON is lightweight to enable scalability across large numbers of sub-collections/archives: it does not contain all of the information sometimes transcribed, such as remarks and military operating unit. However it does provide IIIF canvas IDs, connecting the person instance to the page in the source document where it originally occurred.Where annotations can be generated from transcriptions they are provided as Web Annotation Data Model (WADM) annotation collections serialized as JSON, which are linked to source documents via PIDs. The annotation data can be used independently with the IIIF service provided here, to connect person instances interactively to their occurrence in the source documents. Provided principally for analysis preservation and verification purposes, the transcription data is less suitable for automated searching than the historic person instance JSON (above).These datasets are also deposited in the Zenodo global catch-all repository as record DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.7065068.\u00a0A project website at\u00a0https://www.divisive-power.org/ offers case studies well as search facilities which have access to all of the DPCL datasets, and additionally to other Divisive Power of Citizenship datasets.This work is funded by Swiss National Science Foundation grant 100011_184860/1 \"Divisive Power of Citizenship\"",
