Don't throw away the historical records of the disaster due to heavy rain Call for a group of researchers and others to call on July 8 at 16:48
The "Historical Data Network", which is engaged in the rescue activities for cultural properties damaged by heavy rain, does not throw away old documents dirty with water or mud for people affected by the heavy rain this time, and takes measures. If you don't know how to do this, we ask you to consult.
The "Historical Data Network" is a group of researchers and other organizations founded after the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake 25 years ago, and is engaged in the rescue of historical data damaged by the heavy rain in western Japan and the typhoon in eastern Japan last year. We do it everywhere.
In response to this heavy rain disaster, we posted a guideline on our website, "Request for the preservation of historical materials," to help the disaster victims and volunteers to clean up old documents, old books, diaries and photos, and fusumaya. We are calling for not to throw away the food and farm tools.
These historical materials are often stored in the old house's main building, storehouses, public halls, etc., and may deteriorate due to stains such as water and mud, but they can be restored if appropriate measures are taken. It means that there are cases.
The Historical Materials Network said, "I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to the victims. If the old documents and records that had been transmitted for a long time due to this disaster will be lost, it is a shame for both the house and the community. If you don't know how to do it, we ask you to consult us.
