Abstract

　This paper describes the knowledge gained through the promotion of digital archives in collaboration with the Yamagata Archive Executive Committee, of which the author serves as secretary-general, with collection institutions in Yamagata City. In particular, I considered the relationship with the museum support project of the Agency for Cultural Affairs, which was used in promoting the project. In doing so, he pointed out the importance of cooperation among small-scale museums that makes use of each other's strengths and weaknesses in promoting the digital archiving of small-scale museums. Also, in order to promote the digital archiving of Japanese museums, it is necessary to expand the efforts of such small-scale museums.
