Making a Descriptive Catalogue of Historical Documents in European Languages Relating to early modern Japan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以欧洲语言编写的关于早期现代日本的历史材料的缩微胶片复制品。在这个项目中，我们从文本批评和结构的角度对这些集合进行了审查。我们试图为一些尚未编目的部分制作一个描述性目录，并在现有的目录上增加一些名录信息。我们还收集了一些新的复制品。1.僧侣订单档案：(1)我们正在制作一个关于耶稣会在日本传教的书信的描述性目录，保存在里斯本的《耶稣会公报》中。(2)其中一名成员参观了马德里的方济各会伊比利亚-美洲档案馆，列出了关于日本方济各会的文件。2.荷兰东印度公司的档案：(1)我们正在对《巴达维亚的乌特加和布里尔博克1621-1792年》中包含的文件建立一个数据库，现在大约有42500条记录。其中一部分可以通过该研究所的网站(http://www.hi.u-tokyo.ac.ip/tokushu/DacEnglish/index.访问(2)重新整理了《DagRegister Gehouden Door Opperhoofden van de Nederland》日本工厂名单。在这份清单中，我们可以看到不同档案组的不同文本。(3)我们收到了乌得勒支国家档案馆保存的Huydecoper家族档案的新复制品，其中包括一些与日本有关的文件。3.其他荷兰档案馆：我们收集了有关取代VOC的机构制作的文件的信息，如Comite Oost-Indische Handel en Bezittingen、Minerie van Kolonien等，并收到了一些复制品。4.英国东印度公司(EIC)：我们从大英图书馆保存的EIC文件中收到了一些缩微胶片复制品。

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.
