Gakushuin University: Museum of History (史料館)

About the Museum of History:

The Gakushuin University Museum of History was opened in 1975 to collect, research, classify, preserve and provide access to various historical materials.  Given Gakushuin's unique role in Japanese history as Japan's Peer's School, the museum holds many unique items and is an excellent resource for scholars. 

The collections include those of: Japanese noble families and court officials of the medieval period, feudal lords, their vassals and country squires of later times and persons closely involved with Gakushuin.

Note: The Guide uses the ALA/LC standard romanization, however, it also reflects different romanization system used by an individual institution.
