Network Building and Sharing the Archival Records Information concerning the Asia-Pacific War Japan, Southeast Asia and Related Regions

该项目历时三年，主要通过在线网站、清查目录、问卷调查等方式，对日本以退伍军人组织为代表的个人和法人团体的战争相关记录现状进行研究，并在该地点和个人地点进行实地档案研究。问卷使用了来自ICA的ISAAR (CPF) Ver.2来描述他们的历史和活动。研究人员收到了新获得的记录和物品，并进行了盘点，以便在项目结束后进一步向公众开放。日本文学研究所将保管这些记录。该计划亦扩大档案研究，以分享东南亚地区（如印尼、泰国、荷兰、英国、美国）有关亚太战争战时及战后纪录的资料来源、地点及可及性。日本境外的书面档案记录在这个项目中得到了特别的关注。在此次研究成果的基础上，日本战俘情报院的“盟军战俘拘留卡”和“原子弹伤亡调查委员会”将在今后的几年里发展为新的数字化和数据库项目。
