Nagasaki University Database of Old Photographs
Nagasaki University Library, Nagasaki, Japan
Self-description: "The database of this collection [carefully
annotated (JP, EN) and categorised images from the Bakumatsu-Meiji
(1860-1899) period - ed.] is now open to the public via the Internet,
making the collection accessible for worldwide use. [...] The
photographs in this collection were mainly taken in Japan from the
1860s to the 1890s, and colored by professional painters. They show
foreigners' settlements, urban and rural scenery, tourist spots,
customs and people in Nagasaki, Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe and
elsewhere. As of the end of March 1999, items in the collection
numbered 5,414, making it one of the largest collections in Japan."
[Factual, thoughtful, speedy, and almost ergonomic resource - ed.]
