Hiraga Yuzuru Digital Archive

This digital archive was created to make publicly available the technical materials — chiefly on naval-vessel planning and construction — left by the late Hiraga Yuzuru (Vice-Admiral of Naval Construction; 13th President of Tokyo Imperial University), hereafter referred to as the Hiraga Yuzuru Papers. It was prepared with the cooperation of

• Department of Ocean Technology, Policy, and Environment (former Department of Environmental and Ocean Engineering), Graduate School of Engineering, the University of Tokyo
• Department of Human and Engineered Environmental Studies, Graduate School of Frontier Sciences, the University of Tokyo
• Yamato Museum (Kure Maritime History Science Museum)

.

A research portal (non-public) was also developed with support from the 2007–2008 JSPS Grant-in-Aid for Exploratory Research (No. 19650252, “Public release of a digital archive of the Hiraga Yuzuru Papers, building of a research framework, and studies in the history of industrial technology”).
