Shokeden“巻冊数不定。系譜。
成立年未詳。写本で伝わる。内容：伝写本によって巻冊数・分類など一定しないが、家別にして、かつ人名別に任免を記した公卿の系譜で、所蔵している家々によって、自家の条は書き継いでおり、最終の年月は一致しない。本書では公卿にならなかった人、早世の人も記してあり、記事は、公卿になった人を専ら揚げてある『公卿補任 』より詳しい” (朝倉治彦）

Digitization of Kadenshū Manuscripts• Justifications for prioritization at UC Berkeley Library:– Repeated requests for use by researchers– Kadenshū manuscripts are scattered in the Japanese Manuscripts
Collection, causing difficulty for retrieval→ Virtual reorganization of the manuscripts is desirable– NCC Multi-Volume Sets Project provided a special funding for
digitization of Kadenshū manuscripts as a pilot case ($13,140)• Proposal to NCC’s MVS Project: An example of evolving resource needs– Cataloging Kadenshū under a single collection record– Digitization by Imaging Services under UCB Library IT (7,200 images)– Making the digital collection available in HathiTrust by Dec. 2018
→ To my surprise it became available in HathiTrust by June 2018

After Digitization of Kadenshū Manuscripts
Restricted access inHathiTrust:“We are currently displaying works
that are in the public domain (suchas US works published before 1924),
uncopyrightable works (such asworks of the US government), orworks where we have permission

restricted for users outside theUnited States to works publishedoutside the United States after andincluding 1879.”[18--?] = 18uu=> 1899 in HathiTrustAfter Digitization of Kadenshū (cont.)
Restricted access in HathiTrust→ Host the image files on a different
server for open access to the world
2018/9: Akama Ryō 赤間亮 (RitsumeikanUniversity) incorporated Kadenshū in the Old andRare Books database in the new portal “JapaneseSpecial Collections in the C. V. Starr East Asian
Library, UC Berkeley” hosted by Art ResearchCenter (ARC):
https://www.arc.ritsumei.ac.jp/lib/vm/UCB/

After Digitization of Kadenshū (cont.)
How can Kadenshū users quickly
reach the page they want to use?
→ “User Memo” in the portal allows
creation of a virtual name index for
3,100+ aristocrats listed in Kadenshū
2018/9-11: Engaged with manual data entry ofnames in User Memo pages in the portal
2018/12: Made a soft launch of User Memo pages

After Digitization of Kadenshū (cont.)
2019/2: Created a separate
entry webpage for Kadenshū,with “家伝集閲覧” and “家伝集人名検索” buttons toincrease visibility of thisresource
