It began with the moderator of Hosokawa Information Manager. Beate's material was donated to his alma mater, Mills College, USA, but some Japanese material was donated to NWEC.

感想

歴史ある英国のアーカイブも素晴らしいけど、建国から僅か240年程度しか経っていない米国国民の持つアーカイブ意識は称賛されるべきである。

1000年も2000年も古典的なものは大切に受け継いでいる国なのにアーカイブの大切さが一部しか理解されていない日本国民を比較すると失望する。記録が残ると一部の政治家には不都合なのだと思うが。

女性史を見てもNWECは40年程度、一方Millsは160年以上の歴史で保存され、差は歴然である。
