A project of Harvard University’s Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies, the Japan Disasters Digital Archive (JDA) is an evolving, collaborative space for citizens, researchers, students, and policy makers, and a site of shared memory for those most directly affected by these events. The digital archive is an advanced search engine for archived materials from all over the web, individuals’ testimonials, tweets, prominently including content from international partners who are building digital repositories about the disasters. The site not only facilitates searching of materials, but allows users to create curated collections and interactive presentations on topics of interest to them. Collections and presentations can be shared publicly and enhance the value of the various items accessible through the archive. The archive also features an innovative map feature that visualizes all materials that are tagged with geographic information in real time.

The Asian Classics Input Project is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to the preservation of ancient Asian wisdom. ACIP conducts preservation projects in libraries, monasteries, and institutes throughout Asia. We are committed to creating a searchable digital database that provides scholars, academic institutions, and practitioners access to a virtual library of authentic sacred and classical texts. Founded in 1988 with a grant from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, the Asian Classics Input Project is dedicated to locating, cataloging, digitally preserving, and freely distributing rare and precious collections of ancient wisdom. These surviving texts hold the philosophical, cultural, and religious heritage of Asian traditions dating back more than 2500 years. ACIP digitally preserves these invaluable manuscripts because we believe that authentic ancient wisdom should be available to anyone. Scholars, translators, and practitioners in particular will be interested in accessing this invaluable content, free of charge in the ACIP digital library.

We have teams around the world already translating our work. On this site, you’ll find a description of the latest round of texts that we’re translating and an introduction to the translators on our team. The translations of these texts are still in progress and are available for your eyes and thoughts as we go.

Special photo exhibition on the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923.

In August 1923, William Dana Reynolds, with his wife Vera Hunt Reynolds and their young daughter Helen embarked from Honolulu on the Japanese steamship Taiyo Maru, bound for Yokohama. While at sea, the ship experienced and survived a tsunami only to arrive, badly damaged, in Yokohama Bay on September 8th as witness to the destruction caused by the Great Kanto Earthquake. Fully aware of the risks involved, eight of the male passengers decided to leave the ship and enter the city. Dana Reynolds was among them. For the next few hours, and later, upon his return several days after the initial quake, he recorded a series of compelling images of the horror and devastation.

A collection of rare materials that brings together books, manuscripts, and maps produced during the 18th and 19th centuries that document Japanese exploration and observation of the island and prefecture now known as Hokkaido in Japan, as well as Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands in Russia. Because the Ainu did not possess a written language, the materials in this collection include some of the earliest textual accounts of Ainu culture. They also include many color illustrations that document the Ainu people’s unique clothing, housing, cuisine, religion, family structures, and customs, albeit from the perspective of the Wajin rather than the Ainu themselves.

디지털 인문학이란? 현대 인문학이 전문화의 함정에 빠져서 점점 더 잃어가고 있는 교육과 연구의 생기를 새로운 소통과 협업, 융합의 환경(디지털 환경)에서 부활시키려는 노력입니다. 디지털 인문학의 교육적 과제 횡단적, 융합적 지식탐구를 위해서는, 전통적인 인문학 공부의 도구였던 말과 글의 구사 능력에 더하여, 체계적인 데이터의 수집과 정리, 검증을 통해 의미있는 지식 정보를 만들어내고, 그것을 새로운 디지털 콘텐츠로 표현할 수 있는 능력-‘디지털 리터러시(Digital Literacy)’의 훈련이 필요합니다. 디지털 인문학 연구소는 미래의 한국 문화를 이끌어 갈 인문학도들에게 디지털 리터러시의 역량을 강화하는 교육 환경을 제공하며, 이 토대 위에서 소통·협업·융합의 방법으로 심층적인 지식 탐구와 지식의 확산을 추구하는 디지털 기반 인문학 연구 프로젝트를 수행합니다.

A coworker once asked me, "What do you think of K-pop, K-drama, K-film, KKK?" What you see on this page is my attempt to answer that question. After seeing an image online of the "Cultural Iceberg" (of which there are many versions), I took one and created the K-Iceberg. While culture is indeed a complex concept and the iceberg demonstrates that culture is composed of a lot more things than we think, the Korean version shows how one simple type of branding has become widespread across many industries in Korea.
