This paper was inspired by the opening of the Kadokawa Musashino Museum and its internal facility, the Manga and Light Novel Library, in August 2020, discusses the need for an archive that deals with works that have a strong entertainment tendency in the field of fiction, which leads to Light Novel Archive project. At the time of its opening, the facility started as an archive of works published by KADOKAWA, but it has now become a cross-publisher facility with a comprehensive collection of "light novels" or novels with strong entertainment value. This paper discusses the pass of this change.
