| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The Kashima family donated a group of materials mainly from the late Edo period to Usuki City, and we have conducted a comprehensive survey, catalogued and published information on the condition of the materials and their transmission to the city. The core of the materials are the writings of Kashima Hidekuni, the collection of books and artifacts he left behind. Kashima was a man of varied interests and activities. Above all, his writings, which record miscellaneous information on the history, geography, and customs of Usuki in the late Edo period, are expected to be utilized and clarified in the future.
Among these materials, we have newly introduced a record of a trip between Usuki and Nagasaki at the end of the Edo period ("Nagasaki Dochu Nikki") and a letter that reveals an exchange with a haikai master. A geographical journal of Usuki, "Usuki Hakushikishi" is also an interesting material, which will be introduced later.

本研究は、江戸末期の臼杵という一地方に生きた文化人、加島英国という人物を、書物と遺物から浮かび上がらせようという試みであった。英国の名と業績は、一部の郷土史家にのみ知られていたものといってよいが、今回、彼の子孫からの寄贈品の目録を完成させることで、改めて英国という人物の活動の総体を見渡す契機とすることができた。
また最終年度の調査からは、英国による地誌編纂とその伝来にかかわる新たな知見が得られた。今後、詳しく紹介する予定であるが、地方に蓄積された知の継承という問題を考えるうえでも、英国の事例は貴重なモデルを提供する。それは、19世紀末における近代の知の形成ということとも関係していく。
