Corporate Histories / Histories of Organizations

Overview
  • The Library of Economics at the University of Tokyo has made continual efforts in gathering the histories of organizations, especially corporate histories and labor union histories.  The library houses approximately 12,000 items of Corporate History and 1,700 items of Labor Union History; many of these were not for sale and were not commercially distributed.  This rare collection offers insights into the historical development of modern industry from the perspective of corporations and the laborers.
