These photos belong to the IIT Downtown Campus Library as part of the Library of International Relations Collection.

 

The photos were taken by a member of the U.S. Marines who was in Japan in the fall of 1945, shortly after the end of World War II. At this point we do not have the name of the photographer and we do not know how these photos were given to the library. There are 100 photos in this collection.
