The attached datasets contain several lists with information about 402 persons who were deported or interned in French Indochina during the Second World War. The internment concerns mainly but not exclusively these individuals who were interned by Japanese Authorities after the Japanese Coup d'État on the 9th of March 1945. Original documents are now held at the Archives Nationales d'Outre Mer - Mairie d'Aix-en-Provence, and the lists were mainly compiled in the years 1952 and 1953.
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.7065175.

The attached datasets contain the names of 99 persons who were deported or interned in Indochina for political reasons during the Second World War after the Japanese Coup d'État on the 9th of March 1945. Additional information to the person if provided were: sur- and first name, the individual's profession, the internment Camp where the individual was interned, the duration of the internment and the reason for the confinement. The original documents are now held at the Archives Nationales d'Outre Mer - Mairie d'Aix-en-Provence; neither a date nor a creator is mentioned.

The attached datasets contain the names of 35 French Citizens whose activity were monitored by the Decoux Government. 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 10th of May 1944.

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—supporting investigation of French citizens in French Indochina during World War II.
