A CATALOGUE OF THE G. H. KERR PAPERS

Foreword

The Okinawa Prefectural Archives (OPA) is pleased to present its publication of the catalogue of the“G. H. Kerr Papers.”
George Henry Kerr (1911-1992), a learned authority on Japanese, Taiwanese, and Hawaiian history,
undertook a large-scale research project on Ryukyuan history from 1952, commissioned by the UnitedStates Civil Administration of the Ryukyu Islands. The report on that project titled Ryukyu: Kingdom
and Province Before 1945 appeared in 1953. It was translated into Japanese and published in 1956
under the title Ryukyu no Rekishi. An expanded version of that work, Okinawa: The History of an
Island People, came out in 1958 and was reprinted numerous times, most recently in 2000 with asupplement. Those publications, especially the latter, are still being read to this day by people aroundthe world as the first extensive, academic study on Ryukyuan history and culture written by a modern
Western author.
In the years that followed, Kerr also embarked upon historical publishing and further research projects
on the Sakishima Islands, Taiwan and Hawaii. Then in 1996, Mr. John C. Pearce, a resident of Hawaii,
donated most of the remaining parts of the Kerr papers to the OPA. The papers included referencematerials, manuscripts, notes, photographs and correspondence accumulated during his research
activities since the 1930s.
The G. H. Kerr Papers have been widely used by people in Okinawa as well as by others from Japanand overseas. This year, which marks the centennial of Kerr’s birth, the OPA has succeeded in issuingthis catalogue.
I feel certain that this catalogue will contribute to the further use of the Kerr Papers and future
developments in research on Okinawa’s past.

A CATALOGUE OF THE G. H. KERR PAPERS

Introduction
About George H. Kerr
Son of a Presbyterian minister, George (Jack) Henry Kerr (1911-1992) was born in Pennsylvania andis best known in Okinawa as the author of Ryukyu no Rekishi and Okinawa: The History of an Island
People. Kerr had strong ties to Okinawa and befriended many scholars in Okinawa. Kerr’s postwar research activities relating to Okinawa also included the Scientific Investigations of the Ryukyu
Islands (SIRI) programme and the Ryukyu Cultural Assets Survey. The latter involved fieldwork
on Okinawa’s main island and its neighboring isles, the Sakishima Islands, the Amami Islands, etc.
supported by the Honolulu Academy of Arts to which he then belonged. For further details on Kerr’s
curriculum vitae, see ‘Chronology of Kerr’s Study and Employment Careers’ in this catalogue.

The G. H. Kerr Papers
The OPA collection has been arranged in five series, the first three being major publications on Japanand Okinawa, Taiwan, and Hawaii, respectively, the fourth on other academic publications, and thefifth his personal papers. At the sub-subseries level, papers fall into categories such as copies ofsources, notes, drafts, bibliographical lists, correspondence, contractual and financial papers, etc.
Among OPA’s Kerr Papers are materials from the Scientific Investigations of the Ryukyu Islands(SIRI) programme and the Ryukyu Cultural Assets Survey, the latter being an extensive accumulationof material. Another fact worth noting is that the collection includes Kerr’s unpublished works suchas those on Sakishima, his history of Formosa to 1895, and his biography of King David Kalakaua of
Hawaii.
Some of the final drafts and the proof pages of Okinawa: The History of an Island People aswell as the final drafts of Formosa Betrayed and Formosa: Licensed Revolution and the Home Rule
Movement, were donated by Neal Goya of Hawaii to the OPA.
Other repositories which hold other Kerr papers are: the library of the University of the Ryukyus,
the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, the Institute of Modern History in Taipei, the 2.28 Peace
Memorial Museum in Taipei, etc.
