Research for a Data-based system of historical documents in the Ryukyus and Okinawa

虽然由于明治维新后的“琉球处置”和第二次世界大战的不幸战役，许多历史文献在冲绳丢失，但其中的大量文献已经通过缩微胶卷和其他方式得到了修复和收集。但是收集到的资料是如此巨大，没有数据库系统的帮助是不可能充分利用它们的。对散落在各地的琉球、冲绳历史相关资料进行调查和收集，并将其纳入数据库系统，也是目前最紧迫、最重要的工作之一。本研究项目旨在通过数据库系统的信息处理，全面了解琉球和冲绳岛历史实际考证和文献研究所需的历史资料，并扩大其使用范围。为此，南通社的工作人员利用冲绳县立琉球大学图书馆、冲绳国际大学琉球文化研究所等研究所收藏的微缩胶片资料，以及参与本次重点研究实地活动的每一位小组成员所收集的各种历史资料，编撰了《琉球史料集》。即从琉球和冲绳历史相关的基本资料中收集数据库文件，将其与历史资料收集信息数据库连接起来，从而可以访问历史信息，从而全面了解琉球和冲绳历史相关的资料。数据库资料总数约为40万份，将通过互联网免费提供。我们还对存放在东京大学史料中心的《岛津家族文献或岛津家族书》的每一项都做了详细的内容目录，正在进行缩微拍摄。此外，我们还对长崎县立图书馆的中国周边国家交流历史资料、琉球历史和中国周边国家交流历史资料、鹿儿岛大学图书馆的玉中特藏等机构的资料进行了研究，并对相关资料进行了微缩拍摄。我们已经着手将许多相关材料以数字格式保存起来，以便将它们存入数据库系统。我们还使用FDlP6200（富士胶片公司产品）图像打印机将16mm缩微胶片转换为光学打印格式，并将其转换为CD-ROM格式。今年，我们主要对收集到的研究资料进行了检查，确定了每一份微影资料的存放位置，并对历史资料信息进行了研究和确认工作，使我们能够将下落信息和书目信息以数据库的形式存储起来。少

Although many historical documents were lost Okinawa due to "the disposition of the Ryukyus" after the Meiji Restoration and the unfortunate battle in World War II,volumes of them have been restored and collected in microfilms and by other means. But the collected materials are so enormous that it is impossible to make full use of them without the help of a database system. IT is also one of the most urgent and important works to investigate and collect materials related to the history of the Ryukyu and Okinawa, which are scattered anyplace, and put them in the database systeme. This research project makes it possible to comprehend totally the historical materials necessary for an actual proof and document study on the history of ryukyus and Okinawa, by information processing in the database system and aims at making it expand to use them effectively. For this purpose, provided with the microfilm materials housed in the main library of the University of the Ryukyus, Okinawa Prefectural … More Library, Institute of Ryukyuan Culture of Okinawa International University, and other institutes, and at the same time, with various kinds of historical materials collected by every group member participating in this priority research field activity, the staff of Nantoken have make up A Collection of Historical Materials of the Ryukyus, that is, a collection of databased documents from the basic materials related to the history of the Ryukyus and Okinawa, linking it to historical materials collection information databases, which makes it possible to have access to history information and, as a result, to comprehend the materials related to the history of the Ryukyus and Okinawa as a whole. The total number of the database materials is approximately four hundred thousand, which will be provided free through the Internet. We have also made up a detailed content catalog for each item of "The Shimazu Family's Documents or A Book on Shimazu Family", which is housed in the Historical Materials Center of Tokyo University, being in the process of microfilming all of them.Furthermore, we proceeded to do research on materials related to the history of exchanges among the countries surrounding the China Sea which are housed in Nagasaki Prefectural Library, those related to the history of the Ryukyus and the history of exchanges among the countries surrounding the China Sea, materials of Tamasato's Special Collection of Books in Kagoshima University Library, and other institutions, microfilming those related materials. And we have proceeded to put many of those related materials in a digital format for purpose of housing them in the database system. we have also proceeded to transform the 16mm microfilms into an optical print format by using an image printer FDlP6200 (Fuji Film Company Product), and into a CD-ROM format. This year, we have mainly inspected the collected research materials and confirmed where each of the microfilm materials is housed, and have done research and confirmation works on historical materials information so that we can put where abouts information and bibliographical information in a database format.
