| Research Abstract |
We contributed to the improvement of the study infrastructure for the preservation and use of historical documents about psychiatry by organizing a symposium and an exhibition at the annual conference of the Japanese Society for the History of Psychiatry and several workshops aimed at further intensive discussion on this field. In addition we discussed the possibility of establishing a psychiatry museum/archive in Japan, referring to the history and the present state of psychiatry museums in West European countries.
