Japanese Text Initiative Web Archive 0.397 Gigabytes

This archived website was a collaborative effort of the University of Virginia Library Electronic Text Center and the University of Pittsburgh East Asian Library to make texts of classical Japanese literature available on the World Wide Web. An important purpose is to make JTI texts in both Japanese and English searchable, both individually and as a group. The short term goal of this initiative was to "put online most or all of the Twenty Classical Works in J. Thomas Rimer's A Reader's Guide to Japanese Literature, revised edition (New York: Kodansha, 1999)." Generally, the goal was to "add a wide range of pre-twentieth-century works." The main audience according to the creators are English-speaking scholars and students.

This collection includes correspondence, policies and procedures, files on grants, other forms of documentation, and some printed material. There is a substantial amount of material on the Japanese Text Initiative project.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
