Making a Descriptive Catalogue of Historical Documents in European Languages Relating to early modern Japan

史学研究所一直在收集大量用欧洲语言书写的有关近代早期日本的历史原始资料的缩微胶片复制品。该研究所已经出版了详细的清单，涵盖了其中很大一部分。在这个项目中，我们从文本批判和结构的观点来审查这些集合。我们试图为一些尚未编目的部分制作一个描述性目录，并在现有目录的基础上增加一些库存信息。我们还收集了一些新的复制品。隐修会档案：(1)我们正在制作一份关于耶稣会在日本传教的信件的描述性目录，收录在里斯本阿尤达公共图书馆保存的《亚洲耶稣会》手抄本中。(2)其中一名成员参观了马德里的伊比利亚美洲方济各档案馆，并列举了有关方济各会在日本的文件。荷兰东印度公司（VOC）档案：(1)我们正在建立一个包含“Batavia's Uitgaand brielbook 1621-1792”文件的数据库，现在约有42500条记录。部分内容可以通过该研究所的网站（http://www.hi.u-tokyo.ac.ip/tokushu/DacEnglish/index）访问。html)。(2)我们重新整理了“荷兰荷兰公司日本工厂”的清单。在这个列表中，我们可以看到不同档案组中的不同文本。我们收到了保存在乌得勒支国家档案馆的Huydecoper家族档案的新复制品，其中包括一些与日本有关的文件。其他荷兰档案：我们收集了有关取代VOC的机构（如Comite Oost-Indische Handel en Bezittingen， Ministerie van Kolonien）制作的文件的信息，并收到了一些复制品。我们的一名成员还访问了印度尼西亚国家共和国，并调查了“秘书长”的文件。英属东印度公司：我们收到了一些保存在大英图书馆的英属东印度公司文件的缩微胶片复制品。

The Historiographical Institute has been collecting a large quantity of microfilm reproductions of historical source materials written in European languages concerning early modern Japan. The institute has published detailed inventories covering a good portion of them.In this project we review the collection from a text critical and structural view point. We tried to make a descriptive catalogue for some part which were not yet catalogued and add some inventorial information to the existing ones. We also collected some new reproductions.1.Archives on monastic orders :(1)We are making a descriptive catalogue of Jesuit letters relating to the mission in Japan in the codex "Jesuitas na Asia" preserved in Biblioteca Publica da Ajuda, Lisboa.(2)One of the members visited Archivo Franciscano Ibero-Americano, Madrid and listed the documents about the Franciscan in Japan.2.Archives on Dutch East India Company (VOC) :(1)We are making a database of the documents contained in "Batavia's Uitgaand Brielboek 1621-1792', now about 42500 records. Part of it can be accessed via the institute's website (http://www.hi.u-tokyo.ac.ip/tokushu/DacEnglish/index. html).(2)We rearranged the list of the "Dagregisters gehouden door opperhoofden van de Nederlandse factory in Japan". In this list we can see variant texts in different archival groups.(3)We received new reproductions of the archives of the Huydecoper family, preserved in the national archives in Utrecht, which included some documents relating to Japan.3.Other Dutch Archives : We gathered information about the documents produced by the institutions replacing VOC, such as Comite Oost-Indische Handel en Bezittingen, Ministerie van Kolonien and received a few reproductions. One of our members also visited Arsip Nasional Republik Indonesia and investigated the documents of "Algemeene Secretarie".4.British East India Company(EIC) : We received some microfilm reproductions from the documents of the EIC preserved in the British Library.
