Databases at the National Museum of Ethnology Masatoshi Kubo National Museum of Ethnology

Ethnological collection, conservation, and information services From the time of establishment, one of National Museum of Ethnology’s missions has been the collection and conservation of ethnographical materials and information. The ethnographical materials consist of artifacts, audio- visual materials, books, serials, and gray literature that are purchased, generated or acquired during fieldwork. Now over 600,000 books and other textual documents, about 70,000 audio-visual items, and over 250,000 artifacts have been accumulated. They are maintained, conserved and well-organized by using databases, to be available not only to academic scholars, but also to public organizations like schools, and the general public.
