How to Use
the Yomiuri
Shinbun Newspaper Archives
Introduction
Public computer terminals at the University of Washington Marian Gould
Gallagher Law Library now provide access to the Yomiuri Shinbun (Newspaper)
CD ROM Archives. These archives currently cover the years 1874-1960,
and include the complete full text of the major Japanese daily newspaper,
Yomiuri Shinbun. The pages are image files that display the complete
contents of the newspaper, including photographs and other graphics.
Keyword searches of the archives display
related pages from the newspaper, allowing the user to print the results.
It is also possible to save pages or parts of pages (one page at a time) to a
floppy disk or USB memory key by using the screen capture utility available on
the library's public workstations (see
instructions).
Graphic Interface/Text Interface
Currently available in the library are the following five separate sections of
the Yomiuri archives. Two of the sections (Meiji and Taishō) use a
graphic user interface, while the other three (Shōwa senzen I and II, plus
Shōwa sengō I) use a text
interface:
- Graphic Interface
- 明治 (明治7年-45年)
Meiji (1874-1912)
- 大正 (大正元年～昭和元年)
Taishō (1912-1926)
