The Battle of Okinawa that U.S. Army filmed, Okinawa for the occupied period that United States Civil Administration of Ryukyu Islands recorded, these films and photographs are archived in large quantities by Okinawa Prefectural Archives and TV stations in Okinawa. You can know present situation of Okinawa deeply after having followed the contemporary history of Okinawa from those archived films. Furthermore, it will become the base thinking about what kind of future of Okinawa will be build.
