Custodial Information:

The Kinji Imanishi Digital Archive was established by the Department of Anthropology at the University of Alberta with the help of a grant from The Humanities, Fine Arts and Social Sciences Research (HFASSR) fund. The Project began in the summer of 2001 and continues through until the present, as more work on the archive is an on-going initiative.

Dr. Pamela Asquith is the Director of the Project. She has been collecting and writing on the project for over three years, as of the summer of 2004. She also encourages other Imanishi scholars to contribute their research concerning Imanishi to the Project, as the hope is to eventually build a digital hub from which Imanishi scholars can communicate and share scholarship in this area.

The Kinji Imanishi Digital Archive is housed and maintained by SunSite at the University of Alberta. For further custodial information, please see: http://www.sunsite.ualberta.ca/
