| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study looks to explore a cross- mining history with a focus on several mines in British India, Burma, and Malaya at the end of the 19th and the early 20th century. To achieve this research aim, I will analyze the source materials on mines and miners and construct a data base for the purpose of elucidating the various information on mines, the networks between mining engineers and the extending their technologies at the time, using not only historical source materials, but also reports, magazines, and newspapers.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究は植民地時代のインドを対象とするものであるが、現在、地球環境問題で見直しを迫られている膨大な地下資源の使用が、どの様な条件の中で進んできたのかを、資源情報や鉱山技術、さらに技師のネットワーク化に目を向けることで明らかにするものである。ネットワーク化によってより強固に結びついた開発の志向性の内実を具体的に問うことは、資源開発の見直しに寄与できるものであると考える。
