This project also plans to collect historical documents at universities and research institutes around Chiang Mai city for the purpose of cataloging books and documents about ethnic minorities and religion in the area. Finally, this project will bring a part of the Renard collection to the CSEAS library in order for researchers to make use of them.<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"base_h5\">Description<\/h5>\n<p>Chiang Mai, an ancient city located in Northern Thailand, is a center of research about minorities in mainland Southeast Asia. The Chiang Mai University library holds documents about minority peoples and their histories in Northern Thailand. The Payap University Archive, also in Chiang Mai, holds documents relating to Baptist missionaries\u2019 activities, as well as the late Ronald Duane Renard\u2019s (1947-2014) personal collection, which contains rare documents in local languages on ethnic minorities and public development projects in Thailand and Myanmar written by Christian missionaries. Dr. Renard lived in Chiang Mai from the 1980s until his death, and conducted historical research on various topics, including ethnic minorities and Christianity. His collection of documents and books is really valuable.<\/p>\n<p>This research project will first collect, classify, and catalog documents and books in the Ronald Renard collection in order to construct a research resource hub for ethnic and religious studies in the area. Secondly, the project will bring a part of the collection to the CSEAS library so that the documents may be used in Japan to develop research about minorities and religion in mainland Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n<p>The research group consists of historians, anthropologists, geographers, and scholars studying religion and minorities. Because the members can understand several local languages, such as Thai, Northern Thai, Burmese, Karen, and Mon, it is possible to classify and evaluate the documents properly. By collecting and cataloging books and documents that are currently scattered in several locations and in danger of being lost, we will contribute to the formation of a resource hub based on such a valuable collection.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table class=\"table-caption\">\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/ipcr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/fy2017iii-2-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/ipcr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/fy2017iii-2-1.jpg\"\/><\/a><br \/>\nDr. Renard (center) practicing a ritual at a ethnic minority\u2019s village 2003.
