| Abstract: | Conclusions. Waseda University Library is going to proceed with the Meiji Imprints Microform Project despite the difficulties clue to the acid paper problem and the scarcity of publications published in the Meiji era. We would like to solve these problems urgently by mutual cooperation throughout the world. Waseda University Library intends to lake the lead in promoting this project and we hope that this project (JMSTC) will become a part of the world-wide NSTC project. Summaries. A report is given on the gigantic project of preserving by microfilming the total of the book production of a certain period. The Meiji era (1868-1912), thetlime of modernization in the history of Japan, is most suitable for such a project, because it can be defined exactly, because it is of crucial importance for history and because the books of this time are fully threatened by decay, but arc still in quite good condition now. |
