Description

<p>The Network of Miyagi Historical Materials, which was launched because of the Northern Miyagi Earthquake in July 2003, has continued to document the location of pertinent historical materials.</p><p>Since the Tohoku Earthquake of 2011, the network has been working to rescue relevant historical materials with the support of volunteers inside and outside the affected areas and by collaborating with nation­wide networks. While we have been able to keep the materials and information related to 53 families until now, it is taking a considerable time to complete the work of the network.</p><p>Although a large number of historical materials were lost due to the Earthquake and Tsunami, those materials that were in the form of image data were not lost. The relationship we had built with the affected areas prior to these events has played a major role in how we obtain our materials todays. Before the next catastrophe occurs, we must advance our disaster­prevention measures in support of historical materials continuing and expanding our collaboration with other networks.</p>
