Construction of Local Historical Document Studies based on theory of Historical Materials Preservation at The Time of Large-scale Natural Disasters

日本当地社区不断发生的自然灾害和结构变化使社区中存在的大量历史资料面临丢失或损坏的风险。这项研究旨在建立“地方历史文献研究”。研究结果如下：1)文献研究方法的系统构建：认为文献保护与应用的关键不仅在于历史研究者，也在于当地居民。2)建立新的具体的材料保存和修复方法：这是上述系统研究方法的关键部分。3)对东日本大地震后当地史料保存的贡献：我们的研究提出了灾后保存的原则和方法。(4)地方史文献研究的国际出版：将地方史文献研究作为一个全球性的课题呈现给世界。

Perpetual natural disasters and structural changes in the Japanese local communities place a vast number of historical materials existing in the communities at risk for loss or damage. This research was set to establish "local historical document studies".The results are as the followings: 1) Construction of the systematic research method of the materials: we considered not only historical researchers but also locals are key players of the protection and application of the records. 2) Establishment of new concrete methods for preserving and repairing the materials: this is a crucial part of the systematic research method mentioned above. 3)Contribution to the preservation of local historical materials after the Great East Japan Earthquake:our research proposed principles and methods of the saving after the calamity. 4) International publication of the local historical document studies: this project presented the new studies to the world as a global issue.
