The archives of the Japan Times, the oldest English-language daily newspaper published in Japan, are now accessible from Omnia, the Collège de France's documentary resources portal.
Thanks to a subscription taken out by the Institute of Civilization's Japanese Studies Library, registered readers at the Collège de France have access to 600 000 pages of the Japan Times over a period of 124 years, from March 1897 to December 2021.
In March of each year, all the previous year's issues will be added to the collection already available online.
Many English-speaking journalists based in Asia contribute to this daily newspaper, which is a benchmark for national and international political, cultural and economic information on East Asia.
It is an indispensable tool for researchers working on this geographical area in contemporary times, as well as an inexhaustible source of high-quality information for anyone interested in history and current affairs.
