Abstract

In 1918, while the United States was involved in World War I, the U.S. government required German-born residents and women married to German-born men to register as "enemy aliens." Registrants were restricted in their rights and movements until December 1918, after the war had ended. This collection consists of registration forms for German-born Americans living in Oregon, for women in Oregon who were married to German-born men, and related documents.

Dates: 1918
