SHINGETSU NEWSPAPER ARTICLE ARCHIVES

As previously noted in Shingetsu Newsletter No. 31, the Shingetsu Institute is collecting books and archives related to Japanese-Islamic relations that will be placed in our Jono office (Kitakyushu) for use by visiting researchers. As materials become fully organized and catalogued, newsletters will announce the expansion of our holdings. At this time, I would like to announce that we have now archived newspaper articles from the Japan Times for the months of May and June 2002. Each of the articles has been cut out and copied onto 8 1/2 x 11 sheets of paper for easy reference.
