Financial and Institutional Support

The Takazawa Collection has received financial support from several sources. We gratefully acknowledge the following:

University of Hawaii Japan Endowment Fund, January-December, 1993, special project funding of $14,701 to cover shipping of the collection to Honolulu, purchase of archival supplies, and student assistants to begin cataloguing the Takazawa Collection.

University of Hawaii School of Hawaiian, Asian, and Pacific Studies, special funding of $7,500 in March-July, 1993, to purchase a computer for cataloguing the Takazawa Collection, to support travel to Honolulu for Takazawa Kōji to appraise the collection for sensitive material and organize unsorted materials, and to hire student assistants to work on cataloguing books in the Takazawa Collection.

University of Hawaii National Resource Center for East Asia (funded by the United States Department of Education), an allocation of $3,660 from August, 1993-August, 1994 for a graduate assistant to work on cataloguing books in the Takazawa Collection.

University of Hawaii Japan Endowment Fund Faculty Research Award of $4,850 to Patricia Steinhoff, January 1995-December 1996, for student assistant to work on cataloguing books and serials in the Takazawa Collection.

University of Hawaii Japan Endowment Fund Faculty Summer Research Award of $5,000 to Patricia Steinhoff for travel to Japan during June-July, 1996, in part to work with Takazawa Kōji on the preparation of annotations and keywords for the bibliography of books in the Takazawa Collection.

University of Hawaii Japan Endowment Fund Special Project Grant of $6,875 to Patricia Steinhoff, 1976-1998 for student assistants to work on cataloguing serials in the Takazawa Collection. <>National Endowment for the Humanities, Preservation and Access Division, two year grant of $154,201 to Patricia Steinhoff, June 1999-May 2001, to complete cataloguing and preservation of the Takazawa Collection, and to prepare annotated bibliographies and finding aids for the collection and put them onto a University of Hawaii web site.

In addition to this financial support, the Takazawa Collection has received extensive institutional and administrative support from various sections of the University of Hawaii. Initial support from the Center for Japanese Studies and its Executive Committee and staff made it possible to accept the Takazawa Collection for the University of Hawaii. Duff Zwald, Director of Procurement, Property and Risk Management for the University of Hawaii, handled the contractual arrangements for the donation. While the project was managed through the Center for Japanese Studies, Dean of the School of Hawaiian, Asian and Pacific Studies Willa Tanabe and her staff provided initial administrative support. Dr. Steinhoff’s successor as Director of the Center for Japanese Studies, Dr. Sharon Minichiello, has continued to support the project in various ways. We are especially grateful to the Center for lending its digital camera to photograph the covers of serials and pamphlets for the Takazawa Collection web site, and for publishing the collection bibliographies.

University of Hawaii Librarian John Haak has been a steadfast supporter of the project from the beginning, and arranged for the collection to have secure work and storage space at a time when the whole library system was very short of space. Head of Collection Support Services Carol Schaafsma worked on numerous occasions to provide adequate accommodations for the project’s growing needs. Gregg Geary, head of Sinclair Library where the collection is currently housed, has also been most helpful in arranging for expanded space and finding bookcases and work tables for the project.

The administration of the Takazawa project moved from the Center for Japanese Studies to the Sociology Department following Dr. Steinhoff’s return to full-time faculty duties in 1994. Since then the Collection has also received significant support from the College of Social Sciences. Dean Richard Dubanoski and his staff have taken under their wing a project that fortunately fits their very broad vision of the social sciences. Since that time we have received technical support from College of Social Sciences Computer Systems Manager Harry Partika and his staff. The Takazawa Collection web site is hosted on the College of Social Sciences web server under Harry Partika’s direction. He has been most helpful in matters of web site design and set-up, and other computer support matters. Former Sociology Department Chair Kiyoshi Ikeda arranged for the project to receive an upgraded computer through the department’s allotment in 1996, and current Sociology Department Chair Eldon Wegner has supported the project with additional computer resources and much needed work space.

Our National Endowment for the Humanities grant is administered through the College of Social Sciences and its Social Science Research Institute, where the project has been very well-served by SSRI Director Michael Hamnett and his superb fiscal officer, Calvin Fujioka. The Research Corporation of the University of Hawaii has provided efficient fiscal management for the grant.

We are most grateful to all of these institutions and individuals for making the Takazawa Collection project a success.
