- Biographical
- Arcadio Simangca was born on November 3, 1902 in the Philippines. Very little information relates to Simangca's early life, his family, or of his travel to the United States. The Index to Alien Case File documents his arrival in San Francisco, California as November 10, 1927. According to Simangca's World War II draft registration card, the person who would always know his address was Estanislad Hilario. It is plausible that Hilario was a fellow member of the Legionarios del Trabajo, as both Simangca and Hilario listed 203 East Hazelton Avenue, Stockton, California as their residential address. According to the Social Security Death Index, Arcadio Simangca passed away on February 21, 1988, at the age of eighty-six. *Conflicting birth dates: United States World War II Draft Card, November 3, 1902.

- Scope and Contents
- The earliest material in this series is a Legionarios del Trabajo membership badge dating from 1961. There are also wage and tax statements documenting Simangca's wage and salary, employee information, and employer information. In addition, there is some correspondence written in Visayan from Dionero Ibanez and Lina M. Bagafsolo from Bohol, Philippines, sent to Arcadio Simangca in Stockton, California. The contents of the letters are unknown and currently in the process of being translated into English. The materials do not identify any information regarding Simangca's personal details. Instead, they document Simangca residing in Stockton, California. The series serves as a primary source for understanding the workforce, economic conditions, and tax policies in the 1970s. Furthermore, the materials provide valuable insight into how people attempted to connect with people in another country during this time. Materials are arranged in chronological order.
