The Compilation of maps, aerial photographs and meteorological records produced by former Japanese military for the monitoring of environmental change in the Asian and Pacific Areas

这项研究的目的是汇编前日本军方制作的地图、航空照片和气象记录，以监测亚太地区的环境变化。华盛顿特区国会图书馆对这些材料进行了六次调查。发现了许多被日本军官淹没的朝鲜和中国手稿地图。对观察到的航空照片进行了编目。图书馆各个部分保存的气象记录已部分编目。日本大学收藏的地图已数字化并编目。本研究的参与者在日本制图师协会会议上组织了一次研讨会，以推进日本军用地图的研究进展。此外，我们的研究还获得了日本制图师协会和日本地理学家协会颁发的奖项。

The purpose of this study is to compile maps, aerial photographs and meteorological records produced by former Japanese military, in order to monitor environmental changes in Asia and Pacific Areas. The surveys of these materials at the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. were carried out six times. Many manuscript maps of Korea and China drown by Japanese army officers were discovered. The aerial photographs observed were catalogued. Meteorological records which were kept in various sections of the library were partially catalogued. The maps in the collection of Japanese universities were digitized and catalogued. A symposium was organized by the participants of this study at the conference of the Japan Cartographers Association to advance the progress of the study on the Japanese military maps. In addition, awards to our study were presented by the Japan Cartographers Association and the Association of Japanese Geographers.
