The results of censorship of medical and nursing publications from 1945 through 1949 in occupied Japan are thought to be housed in the Gordon W. Prange Collection at the University of Maryland.The purpose of this study was to investigate the circumstances of publishing and the criteria for censorship by General Headquarters Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers (GHQ) in occupied Japan.We visited the Gordon W. Prange Collection four times, and collected and analyzed the nursing books, nursing magazines, nursing newspapers and censored documents of the Gordon W. Prange Collection.The results were as follows ;1. The Nursing Affairs Division of GHQ censored the Japanese Nurses Association's journal before it was censored by the Civil Censorship Detachment of GHQ.2. GHQ's position on censorship evolved during the time of the occupation.3. Statistics on publication, circulation, and subscribers of Japanese nursing magazines were discovered.
