Tsuda College has started from a little private school with ten students as “Joshi Eigaku Juku”, private institutions of higher education for women, aiming women’s advanced education in 1900 (the 33th year of the Meiji Period),
however, more than 20,000 alumnae have been sent to society to date. In 2010, Tsuda College marked its 110th anniversary and started digitalization of historical archives preserved in Umeko Tsuda Data Room as part of its anniversary celebrations.
As one of main important purposes of the Data Room we collect and preserve the historical records of Umeko Tsuda, the College founder, the College, and the surroundings of alumnae and put them use for college and education history,
especially for the history of women’s advanced education and the reference for the education and study of the field of English learning history, but in this project we would like to aim to offer an opportunity to a lot of people to access our precious documents over the temporal and geographical constraint.
