Summary
"The Queer Japan Web Archive is a joint initiative by librarians for Japanese Studies at Brown, Duke, Harvard, Princeton, and Yale Universities, with support from Professors Dr. Yoshie Yanagihara (Tokyo Denki University) and Dr. Tetsuyuki Shida (Waseda University), which aims to preserve websites created by non-profit Japanese organizations which research, advocate for, support, and provide services to LGBTQ communities. The non-profit organizations included in the Archive provide social services for LGBTQ communities throughout Japan, such as quality of life services, real estate, employment, educational assistance, helplines, workshops, mental health services, information about sexually transmitted diseases, and legal information. By archiving these websites, the Confederation strives to guarantee that these potentially ephemeral websites are preserved and remain browsable by researchers and scholars."
