The East Asian library at the University of California Berkeley
(UCB) is well known through out the world for its many publications
about Japan. They have around 380,000 publications about Japan
among their collection of 850,000 books. Twice a year the Japanese
government donates a large container of publications. This library
is open to the public as well as students, and anyone can sign
up to borrow books.
ISF presented 121 volumes of "Shinto Taikei" to UCB
East Asia library. Yoshimi Umeda, direct-general of ISF was
invited to the Presentation Ceremony on April 12, 2003.
Dr. Delmar Brown who has been teaching Japanese culture for
a long time at UCB, is working to advance the digitization project
of the Shintoism reference. Dr Brown stated "I am very
glad to have the Shinto Taikei at my disposal when studying
Shintoism. This is very wonderful for scholars and students
who study Shintoism not only at the University of California
but through out San Francisco as well. I want to go public as
soon as possible and provide facilities to our researchers."
