We have finished photographing and digitalizing two thirds of all the educational scrolls (totaling about 200 items) and conducted preliminary research of preservation of original items. Through these three years' research, we could determine the procedures of photographing, digitalizing, and preserving educational scrolls.
We have identified almost all the scientific items of the First Higher School by researches at the Institute far Physical and Chemical Research, Osaka University, Tsuchiura First High School, and so on.
