The Shibusawa Eiichi Memorial Foundation will have a booth in the exhibit hall at the 2017 AAS Annual Conference (Toronto, Canada) to showcase the newly published digital version of the Shibusawa Eiichi denki shiryo (Shibusawa Eiichi Biographical Materials).
Shibusawa Eiichi (1840-1931), an entrepreneur and leader of the modernization of Japan, was involved in the establishment or management of roughly 500 companies and financial institutions in addition to roughly 600 organizations and associations in the fields of social welfare and education. The Shibusawa Eiichi denki shiryo is a 68-volume set of materials on not only the personal achievements of Eiichi but also a variety of topics such as the economy, private-sector diplomacy, philanthropy, society, education, religion, and culture in Japan from the end of the Edo period through the Meiji, Taisho, and Showa eras. The digital version allows users to search the full text and view images of pages from the print edition.
Please drop by the booth for a demonstration of the digital version, to try it out for yourself, and to ask questions of Foundation staff. We look forward to meeting you!
