During the period following the Japanese Coup d'État, a small French Army under the command of General Gabriel Sabattier managed to avoid capturing and reaching China. Consequently, attempts were made to extract from now occupied Indochina 33 designated persons. This dataset contains the list of these persons. Original documents are now held at the Archives nationales Pierrefitte-sur-Seine and were compiled on the 25th of July 1945.
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.7065001.

After the Second World War, these persons who were interned during the war could apply for the status of déportés ou d'internés politiques or déporté ou d'interné resistant, respectively. In addition, the status would entail entitlement towards France for pension and assistance with medical costs in relation to the internment. However, after the Japanese Coup d'État of 9 March 1945, nearly all French citizens experienced internment or house arrest, often only for a few days. Therefore, it was not feasible to award every person one of these statuses and a Commission was set up to grant the status. The attached datasets contain the members of the commission and the applicants, respectively. Next to the applicants, the advice given by the commission was also transcribed. The dataset describing the commission contains a total of 397 entries, of which many are duplicates. The commission members did usually attend several meetings and were recorded every time. The dataset describing the applicant contains 1260 entries, some of which are duplicates, although the majority are not. No distinction has been made between the applicants or members of the commission concerning the status of déportés ou d'internés politiques or déporté ou d'interné resistant. The different status can be derived from the source location or the information accompanying the individual meeting. The list contains the person's name and the recommendation of the commission. Original documents are now held at the Archives nationales Pierrefitte-sur-Seine, the last document was created on the 27th of June 1968.

The attached datasets contain the names of recorded Victims of Japanese and Vietminh actions. Several lists are compiling the dataset and the latest were created in 1949. Only these persons who had an event before 19.08.1945 were transcribed and are searchable. The original documents are now held at at the Archives Nationales d'Outre Mer - Mairie d'Aix-en-Provence.

The attached dataset contains information about 39 individuals who were interned for their activities as nationalistic agitators and members of religious sects. This data was extracted from archival sources stored on microfilm in the context of the legal investigation against Admiral Jean Decoux, Governor-General of French Indochina during the Second World War, in front of the Haute Cour de Justice. Original documents are now held at the Archives nationales Pierrefitte-sur-Seine, were compiled on the 19th of July 1948.

The first attached dataset (Camp_d'internement_en_Indochine_persons) contains information about 36 individuals who were interned often after the Japanese coup d'État and their respective Internment camps. The second attached dataset (Camp_d'internement_en_Indochine_camps) includes information on the internment camps. Not transcript, but within the source material are also further descriptions of the location and regime of the individual sites. Original documents now held at the Archives Nationales d'Outre Mer - Mairie d'Aix-en-Provence, were compiled on the 13th of April 1950.
