研究的目标和完成的项目如下：1.将主机上积累的《日本古代文献在线目录》、《日本历史与明治维新年表数据库》、《大日本志索引数据库》等船用数据库转换到Unix工作站上，并从WWW服务器上访问。扫描Eishabon的800卷缩微胶片(旧文件的透明副本)，将530,000个图像文件安装到CD-ROM服务器中，并在SHIPS数据库中制作超级链接代码，以便使用WWW浏览器查看这些图像文件。浏览6000页的《外国与日本有关的历史文献》卷。14.4.用由PHOTO-CD.5转换成的jpeg图像文件，建立史学研究所收藏的“IKIRI的文件”的超文本网页。利用HTML语言对全文数据库中的文本输入模块进行改进，并对时序数据库中的数据录入批量系统进行改造，使之能够录入日期和位置数据。将链接字段添加到若干数据库中，通过这些数据库显示研究所出版物的图像。

The research aimed and accomplished the projects as following ;1. to convert the SHIPS-databases accumulated on the mainframe, such as "Japanese Old Documents On-line Catalogue", "Chronological Database for the Japanese History and the Meiji Restoration", "Dai Nippon Shiryo Index Database", etc. to the Unix work station and to make them available from WWW server.2. to scan the 800 reels of microfilms of Eishabon (the transparent copies of the old documents) and install the 530,000 image files into the CD-ROM server and to make the hyperlink code in the SHIPS-databases in order to view these image files with WWW browser.3. to scan the 6,000 pages of "Historical Documents Relating to JAPAN in Foreign Countries" vols. 14.4. to construct the hypertext pages of "the Documents of IKIRI", held in the Historiographical Institute, with the jpeg image files converted from PHOTO-CD.5. to improve the text input module in the full text database by using the HTML and reform the data entry batch system in the Chronological Database to be able to enter the date and location data.6. to add the linkage fields into the several databases, through which the images of the Institute's Publications are to be displayed.
