点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The 2022 fiscal year was quite productive in terms collecting necessary data in different archives: in Japan and abroad. In August I could collect some data in Tsuruga port museum and Tsuruga city library. I August, I went to Armenian for data collection in the Armenian National Archives. In March I went to the USA (Columba University and Stanford University) for collecting data. In the USA I had a meeting with one of the descendants of an Armenian refugee who passed through Japan in 1919. I obtained a book written by him about the family history. I could explore online archives of the USA Immigration and was able to find new data for the research.I had 4 interviews with 4 descendants of different refugees from the time. I obtained valuable documents for the family archives. I had 3 research presentations, which gave me good opportunities to hear other researchers' opinions, comments and perspectives about the topic.
