Research Abstract |
For the historical study on nuclear research during post war period in Japan one usually uses published books and papers on the subjects or letters written by persons concerned. Post war Japan, however, was under occupation of Allied Powers and the nuclear resarch was prohibitted by FEC (Far Eastern Committee), the historical documents during occupation era are scarce. Several years ago GHQ documents were open to public in United States and one also able to view the documents at the National Diet Library in Japan. And the new type of historical documents were discovered. Among many GHQ documents there were many letters and papers originally written by japanese and inspected by GHQ under suspection of GHQ order violation. There we also found annual accounting documents submitted to Education Ministry from Japanese Universities. These facts suggest us that we can use annual accounting documents as historical research data. In this research the possibility of using annual accounting documents to Education Ministry was pursued. Since these documents were of character of semi-official documents, it has been confirmed in many universities these documents have not been abolished. In many universities, however, the documents are not in good states of preservation. Thus it is concluded that only the sooner preservation of these documents can save the high quality historical data from their lossings and scatterings.
