A TRIAL TO SEARCH A NEW TYPE OF HISTORICAL DATA FOR RESEARCH OF HISTORY OF NUCLEAR SCIENCE IN POST-WAR JAPAN

对于战后日本核研究的历史研究，人们通常使用有关主题的出版书籍和论文或有关人士的信件。然而，战后日本被同盟国占领，远东委员会禁止进行核研究，占领时期的历史文献很少。几年前，GHQ文件在美国向公众开放，人们也可以在日本国会图书馆查看这些文件。发现了新型的历史文献。在众多的GHQ文件中，有许多是日本人原创的信件和文件，在涉嫌违反GHQ命令的情况下由GHQ检查。在那里，我们还发现了日本大学向文部科学省提交的年度会计资料。这些事实表明，我们可以使用年度会计凭证作为历史研究数据。在本研究中，探讨了对教育部使用年度会计凭证的可能性。由于这些文件具有半官方文件的性质，因此在许多大学已经证实这些文件并没有被废除。然而，在许多大学里，这些文件并没有得到很好的保存。因此，只有尽早对这些文献进行保存，才能使高质量的历史资料免于丢失和分散。

For the historical study on nuclear research during post war period in Japan one usually uses published books and papers on the subjects or letters written by persons concerned. Post war Japan, however, was under occupation of Allied Powers and the nuclear resarch was prohibitted by FEC (Far Eastern Committee), the historical documents during occupation era are scarce.Several years ago GHQ documents were open to public in United States and one also able to view the documents at the National Diet Library in Japan. And the new type of historical documents were discovered. Among many GHQ documents there were many letters and papers originally written by japanese and inspected by GHQ under suspection of GHQ order violation. There we also found annual accounting documents submitted to Education Ministry from Japanese Universities.These facts suggest us that we can use annual accounting documents as historical research data. In this research the possibility of using annual accounting documents to Education Ministry was pursued. Since these documents were of character of semi-official documents, it has been confirmed in many universities these documents have not been abolished. In many universities, however, the documents are not in good states of preservation. Thus it is concluded that only the sooner preservation of these documents can save the high quality historical data from their lossings and scatterings.
