Description

<p>In the year since October 2011, staff of the Kanagawa Prefectural Archives have been involved in rescuing Rikuzen­-Takata City public records that were damaged by the Tohoku Earthquake. This project,which uses Government subsidies to acquire the staff and necessary tools and materials, was funded to transfer about 1,200 damaged vital records from Rikuzen­Takata City to the Kanagawa Prefectural Archives;they were returned to the city after they had be restored.</p><p>Recovery work followed the completion of an assessment of tsunami damage and the resultant preservation needs. Because of this, we set an administration target to restore the records to a“fit­for­use”level. The preponderance of processes to be carried out was as follows:</p><p>１．Preserve content information</p><p>２．Remove and control factors stopping preservation</p><p>３．Ensure the convenience of use and storage Our aim was to complete this restoration project with the cooperation of other organizations within the limitations of resources（staff, materials, time, and so on）．The tasks resulting from this work are also described.</p>
