Researches on the materials left by MINAKATA Kumagusu

在本项目期间，我们对每年春夏两季留在稻田故居和每年秋天留在稻田纪念馆的材料进行了定期调查。通过这些研究，我们完成了对稻田所刮报纸的分类和数据库建设。稻田图书馆的目录在该项目之前就已经建立了数据库，在他的书的许多页面上留下的细节中都补充了稻田的注释。一直在对植物标本进行分类、研究和建立数据库。我们将研究成果汇编成1998年3月出版的《稻田纪念馆藏品目录》，并完成了对捐赠给国家科学博物馆的稻田真菌标本的分类和数据库建设。我们录入了稻田1914年至1923年(1920年除外)的日记以及给小泽志郎和平沼大三郎的信件，以供今后研究之用。我们还计划扫描从1885年到1913年已经出版的日记部分。由于研究仍在继续，我们在1999年2月发表了中期报告，其中包括相关研究人员以及该项目成员的论文。在这份中期报告中，发表了1700篇关于稻田的论文和文章的参考书目，这些论文和文章是从1980年到1997年撰写的，我们到目前为止已经核对了2500份数据。

During the period of this project, we have made periodical investigations of the materials left in Minakata's former residence every spring and summer and in Minakata Memorial Hall every autumn. Through these researches, we have completed the classification and database construction of the pieces of newspapers scraped by Minakata. The catalog of Minakata's library which had been already databased before the project was supplemented in the details such as Minakata's notes left on many pages of his books. Specimens of phanerogam have been continued to be classified, researched, and databased. We compiled the result of the researches as the Catalog of the possession of the Minakata Memorial Hall published in March, 1998.We have also completed the classification and database construction of Minakata's collection of mycetozoan specimens donated to the National Science Museum. His collection of fungi and other cryptogam will be classified, researched, and databased in the following years.We have input Minakata's diary from 1914 to 1923 (except 1920) and letters to Koaze Shiro and Hiranuma Daizaburo for the sake of the future researches. We are also planning to scan the already published part of the diary from 1885 to 1913. As the researches are still continuing, we published the interim report in February, 1999, which includes the papers by the associated researchers as well as the members of this project. In this interim report is published the bibliography of 1700 papers and articles concerning Minakata written from 1980 to 1997, out of 2500 data we have so far checked.
