Originally founded in 1919, the Hoover Institution Library & Archives are the original foundation on which the institution is built. Originally intended to document the history of World War I, the library was founded by Herbert Hoover as the Hoover War Collections. East Asia became a major collecting focus following World War II and has continued to be since.
For more information on the Japanese collections, please contact Kaoru 'Kay' Ueda at kueda@stanford.edu.
The Hoover Institution Library & Archives collections include over 600,000 individual collections total, with a large portion relating to East Asia. While the largest portion is focused on China, there are many Japan- and Japanese-focused collections. For more information, please visit the institution's Japan page.
