Welcome to the The Japanese Company Histories (Shashi) Wiki!
The Japanese Company Histories Wiki project is an initiative of the Shashi Interest Group, a group of librarians who, aware of their rich research potential, have been building library collections of Japanese company histories or shashi, and researchers who are using them. Our hope is to use the Shashi Wiki to reach out to others so that more people will become aware of the potential of shashi as sources for studying Japanese history, culture, business, as well as other topics or fields.
Joining the Shashi Wiki project is easy! Sign up using the Wiki Account Request Form. We welcome contributions from anyone with research interests in Japanese company histories who wants to join us in building this shared resource.
Please also join our discussion group to discuss how to use Shashi for your research, post your question and make announcements. You can join the group by yourself from the home page or send me an email at hng2@pitt.edu to add you to member list.
Please do not create new categories by yourself. Please use Nikkei Business Classification to determine each category for your entry. Nikkei goo helps you to find more information on companies. If you cannot determine or find category for your entry, please leave it in others.
Please join our Discussion Group to discuss potential of Shashi as sources for studying Japanese history, culture, business and other fields. This is an open discussion group.
