"Lessons for Disaster Digital Archives: The Making and Use of the Japan Disasters Digital Archive (JDA)” by Andrew Gordon, Ryo Morimoto, Akihiro Shibayama, Julia Gerster, Sebastien Boret, Keiichi Sato.

"In this two part special issue of Asia-Pacific Journal: Japan Focus, we are pleased to offer some reflections on the still-young practice of born-digital archiving through a two-part case study of the Japan Disasters Archive (JDA), and we thank The Asia-Pacific Journal: Japan Focus for publishing the first part on the 14th anniversary of the March 11, 2011 disaster.
The JDA is a project of the Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies (RIJS) at Harvard University. It was developed in close partnership with the Michinoku Shinrokuden archive of the International Research Institute of Disaster Studies (IRIDeS International Collaborations) at Tohoku University. Planning for the archive began just days after the unprecedented earthquake and tsunami of March 11, 2011 ( #東日本大震災), when the impact of the long-term crisis that came to be called 3.11 was just beginning to be understood."
