端山貢明アーカイブについて(長野大学前川ゼミ) (On the Hayama Kōmei Archive (Maekawa Seminar, Nagano University))

Notes

From the 端山貢明アーカイブ (Hayama Kōmei Archive), item 9965 in the アーカイブプロジェクト category, registered 2022-10-04: https://d-commons.net/hayama/?c=&p=9965. Published by the 端山貢明アーカイブプロジェクト (Hayama Kōmei Archive Project), directed by 前川道博 (Michihiro Maekawa) of Nagano University, on the D-Commons platform, and licensed CC BY (表示). The source documents come from the 端山文庫, the papers kept in Hayama's laboratory at Tohoku University of Art and Design, digitised by the project with the agreement of his family; his autograph scores were given to the University History Archives of the Tokyo University of the Arts in 2026. Source: A one-page PDF standing in for a 75-minute video record published on YouTube (https://youtu.be/X-fYvcurgXM), spoken by 前川道博 (Maekawa Michihiro), professor in the Faculty of Business and Informatics, Nagano University. The page carries a single frame showing opened cardboard boxes of papers, among them a volume of 「日本の作曲 1960」 and a spiral-bound Life Clipper notebook.. Dated: recorded 21 June 2021. The archive publishes this item as 1 separate page scan rather than as a PDF; the download here was assembled from those scans in page order, each taken at the higher of the two resolutions the archive serves. The companion video to the slide deck catalogued as 9888: on the same day, 21 June 2021, Maekawa spent seventy-five minutes explaining the Hayama Kōmei Archive to his seminar students, and this one-page PDF stands in for the recording. Its single frame is itself informative — it shows the material in the state it arrived in, loose papers and offprints packed upright in removal boxes with handwritten labels, one of which can be read as a volume of 「日本の作曲」 for 1960. What distinguishes this record from the deck is that Maekawa worked with the objects in front of him. The archive note explains that part of the 端山文庫 — the body of material Hayama had kept in his office at Tohoku University of Art & Design, which Cable Television Yamagata, now Diversity Media, had stored in its warehouse for roughly two decades after his retirement — had been taken over by volunteers at the end of May 2021 and was now dispersed for provisional storage in Maekawa's laboratory. The session was given with those physical items to hand, so it is a record of an archive at the moment of being opened rather than of a finished collection. Its value for a library is contextual rather than textual. It documents the point at which a private working library became an archive, three weeks before Hayama's death was absorbed into the project's timetable, and it is the only item in this batch that shows the physical condition of the source material. The archive's own catalogue entry points the reader to the deck (「[2021]端山貢明デジタルアーカイブプロジェクト概要」) for the project's formal description. People named: 前川道博 (Maekawa Michihiro), 端山貢明 (Hayama Kōmei). Noted: The PDF contains no transcript or outline; everything beyond the single frame comes from the archive's catalogue note. The twenty-year storage period and Diversity Media's role are stated in the archive's description of the related items rather than in this record itself. Which students or other participants were present is not stated.
