Abstract
It was not until after 1954 that the arrangement of modern documents pertaining to the local history of the common people was started by library science. The Ministry of Education’s Library of Archives, the Matsumoto Municipal Museum and Tenri Central Library, plus still others began working of this arrangement, but this has not yet spread on to a national level. To enact a national standard in this work in the future, it will be absolutely necessary for scholars of historical science and for librarians to have a co-operative attitude. It is my fervent wish that this will be realized.
I wrote “Theory and Practice of the arrangement of Modern Documents” for this Journal in 1956. After spending ten years systematically revising these documents, it was my privilege to have this revised article printed, here in this journal for critical review from my fellow librarians.
The contents of the following article parallels in proper sequence the systematic revisions which were made in the revised article, problems which may arise from this revised article will be handled accordingly and any necessary revisions will be made and publishes in journals related to library science.
