| Research Abstract |
We arranged and cataloged books and documents presented from the Library of the Okamatsus, including 182 documents of Okamatsu Yokoku, 799 letters, 580 documents on Santaro's study abroad, 86 commodity catalog at Germany, 114 notes, 426 documents of Universities, 183 legal opinions, 2,336 manuscripts, 1,967 documents and archives of Taiwan, 347 documents and archives of the South Manchurian Railroad Company, 11 documents of the Colonial Committee, 93 documents of legislation, 1216 funeral documents and others. In September, 2002, we visited the High Court, district courts and the Judicial Research and Training Institute in Taiwan, with the intention of researching on their court records under Japanese colonial rule. We could confirm that various kinds of court records including files of civil and criminal judgment documents were kept in their record stacks or libraries. We think we must take effective measures to keep these court records, because they were not in good state of preservation. For the sake of future study, we believe it to be our responsibility to preserve these court records for our descendants. We will cooperate and assist with Professor Wang Tay-sheng of Taiwan National University who converts court records of the District Court of Taichung into digital records. And we will undertake cataloging the court records under Japanese Colonial Rule. Furthermore, we will with the cooperation of the Judicial Yuan of ROC make a suggestion to take effective measures to keep and open to public these court records in Taiwan.
