Collection of historical documents and cultural materials
From the very beginning, in 1921, when Keizo Shibusawa founded the Attic Museum Society, he made it policy to collect materials. For various reasons, the collected materials were subsequently dispersed and stored in several institutions. The Institute aims to pass on to the next generation the materials inherited from the Attic Museum and collected after it was attached to Kanagawa University by preparing them for use in research and exhibitions.
The wide-ranging collection of the Institute is being opened to the public as it becomes collated and is available for viewing for research purposes, publication for special use, and loan for exhibitions.
