Preservation of descriptive data in connection with costumes dating from the Taisho and Showa eras and historical analysis based on the culture of everyday life as seen in newspapers, magazines and literature

这所大学的服装文化研究研讨会拥有约3万份手写文件，这些文件摘录自明治、大正和昭和时代(约1870-1962)报纸和杂志上出现的关于服装的文章。为了使这些材料可用于有效的研究目的，我们正在努力将这些文件中的文字和图片数字化，并建立一个数据库搜索系统。我们这次的研究关注的是从服装文化的角度使用这些文本数据研究生活方式文化的方法，特别是参考大正和早期时代(约1912-52年)。

The Costume Culture Research Seminar at this university possesses around 30,000 hand-written documents constituting excerpts from articles concerning costume that appeared in newspapers and magazine during the Meiji, Taisho and Showa eras (ca. 1870-1962). In order to make these materials available for effective research purposes, we are working on digitalizing the texts and pictures in these documents and creating a database search system. Our study on this occasion has been concerned with methods of research into lifestyle culture using this textual data from the standpoint of the culture of costume with reference specifically to the period between the Taisho and early Showa eras (ca. 1912-52).
