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队制作的地图、航空照片和气象记录，以便监测亚洲和太平洋地区的环境变化。在华盛顿特区的国会图书馆对这些资料进行了六次调查。被日军军官溺毙的许多朝鲜和中国地图手稿被发现。观察到的航拍照片已编入目录。保存在图书馆各部分的气象记录被部分编目。日本大学收藏的地图被数字化并编目。这项研究的参与者在日本制图师协会的会议上组织了一次专题讨论会，以推动日本军事地图研究的进展。此外，日本制图师协会和日本地理学家协会还为我们的研究颁发了奖项。

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.
