This paper is a practical report on the ‘Archives Collegeʼthat was founded in 2002 by Shiryokan (Department of Historical Documents at the National Institute of Japanese Literature)．This College, which developed from the training course for archivists, is an experiment in education for graduate students. The intention is that students should write required essays of a high standard, and thus the professors have established an education that is equal to the masterʼs course in graduate school. But we have no time for seminars and laboratories because the length of the term is only six weeks. My aspiration is for the establishment of a formal graduate school.
