Outline of Research
Through this research project, newspapers from various Southeast Asian nations, collected by both domestic and international universities and institutions for Area Studies of Southeast Asia, will be preserved for a long period of time by means of media conversion. We will also search a way to develop a platform to promote sharing these materials. In the first year, technical problems concerning the media conversion and legal issues on the collaborative preservation and sharing of the materials will be discussed. In the second year, we will have more concrete discussions and proposals on feasible networks for the collaborative preservation and sharing.
Description
The aim of the research is to create a platform to preserve newspapers from various Southeast Asian nations for a long period of time by means of media conversion and to share them among internal and external libraries of universities and institutions for Area Studies in Southeast Asia. It is also intended to promote the use of information on these newspapers to bring new developments to Area Studies in Southeast Asia.
To establish methodology for the shared preservation and utilization of newspapers, which are the basic materials for our research, will promote the use of the materials and enrich informational resources for the Southeast Asian Region as a whole. If we can find a common way to enable long-term preservation and publishing of those newspapers, form technical and legal perspectives, it will promote practical and useful infrastructures to share newspaper archives among libraries, making it much easier for the academics to access Southeast Asian newspapers.
