Amache Internment camp was designated a National Landmark by the National Park Service on 20 May 2006. Camp Amache, located near Granada in Prowers County, Colorado, was an internment camp for Japanese-Americans during World War II.

The National Archives and Records Administation (NARA) has posted an electronic database Records About Japanese-Americans Relocated During World War II. These records contain personal information about the Japanese-Americans evacuated from the states of Washington, Oregon, and California to ten relocation centers, including Camp Amache. Information such as name, year of birth, birthplace, birthplace of parents, occupation of father, education, foreign residence, military service, and numerous other items, can be found in these records.

A search of the NARA records can be performed using one or more of eight data fields. These data fields are: last name, first name, middle initial, relocation project, assembly center, last permanent address, individual number and year of birth. When I did a search using just Camp Amache (Granada), I found 6,919 records in the database.

Recently legislation was introduced to expand the site and designate it as a National Historic Site. The bill was introduced by Rep. Marilyn Musgrave in the House and by Sen. Wayne Allard and Sen. Ken Salazar in the Senate (editorial in the Pueblo Chieftain).
