<div class="text-wrapper ">
<p class="p1" style="margin: 0px 0px 9px;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The collection contains over 80,000 items chronicling the history of Japanese and East Asian film from the earliest moving pictures in Japan from the 1870s through
2006, including the unique and extensive materials of 9,500 Japanese film programs and fliers, 450 volumes of Japanese rare books from the early era of film, Japanese film periodicals both commercially published and self-published by student clubs at university
campuses, and film studio archival materials.</span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin: 0px 0px 9px;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The grant will enable the Starr Library to recruit a Japanese cataloger and an archivist to perform original cataloging and archiving of rare books, early film
magazines, internal film studio documents, film programs, and ephemera, a significant portion of which are unavailable in the U.S. or Japan. Online finding aids that include Japanese characters will be published to help scholars around the world access materials
independently. </span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin: 0px 0px 9px;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Few actual Japanese films from prior to 1920 exist for research purposes. Thus, movie-related print materials such as programs, fliers, company newsletters,
and books are an important scholarly element to the research and teaching of early Japanese film. The Makino collection contains 9,500 printed cinema programs, the largest outside of Japan, spanning from the earliest years of Japanese film to the present.
</span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin: 0px 0px 9px;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"For someone who sets off to explore the history of Japanese film, the Makino Collection is the really indispensable guide,¡± said Paul Anderer, Mack Professor
of Humanities at Columbia University. "The CLIR grant arrives at just the right time, to help us make these materials all the easier to navigate."</span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin: 0px 0px 9px;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Cataloging the rare film book titles and film magazines will also improve access to the research materials related to the proletarian film movement (Prokino),
amateur film magazines, and print materials published by cinema clubs in various university campuses. The collection contains the only original copy of an 1880 Japanese book on magic lantern slides and the first Japanese translation in 1891 of the book ¡°Modern
Magic¡± by Louis Hoffman.</span></p>
<p class="p2" style="margin: 0px 0px 9px;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">¡°This grant will certainly further our outreach efforts to expand access to the collection in the same vein as our 2011 international symposium <a href="http://library.columbia.edu/locations/eastasian/special_collections/makino_mamoru/symposium.html" style="text-decoration: none;">¡®The
Makino Collection at Columbia</a>¡¯,¡± <span class="s2">said Jim Cheng, Director of the C.V. Sta</span>rr East Asian Library. ¡°Our goal is to continue to increase awareness of and access to the unique materials from the Makino Collection for scholars around
the world.¡±</span></p>
<p class="p2" style="margin: 0px 0px 9px;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The <b>C.V. Starr East Asian Library</b> is one of the major collections for the study of East Asia in the United States, with over 1 million volumes of Chinese,
Japanese, Korean, Tibetan, and Western language materials, as well as some holdings in Mongol and Manchu, over 8,500 periodical titles, 4.5 million e-books, and many archival and special collections. The collection, established in 1902, is particularly strong
in Chinese history, literature, and social sciences; Japanese literature, history, and religion, particularly Buddhism; and Korean history.
