Abstract

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