We worked together for the networking of scholars and practitioners who are related to coal industry, coalfields and its regeneration across the borders. To establish a knowledge infrastructure required for the cooperation, we salvaged materials and resouces related to mining local history, which were sometimes just abandoned. Also important was indexing and digitizing of collected materials, in accordance with archivists and curators in main coalfields of Japan. These were preparatory and essential efforts towards comparative coalfield study yet to be tackled with in East Asia.
