Repatriation of French Citizens from China during 1945

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-an SNSF-funded project (grant number 100011_184860/1). The attached dataset contains information about 4,784 persons affected by the allied repatriation effort. These persons were transported on or before August 1946 by the U.S. military from China to French Indochina. The dataset is an export from an Invenio corpus repository, maintained at https://citizenship.freizo.org/ which is searchable via a tailored historic persons data model and supports a IIIF service. However the data is independently-consumable JSON described by a JSON Schema. WC3-based scientific annotation has been employed to structure digital representations of the printed and hand-written source material.
