Description:
The Siebold Archive, also known as the Sieboldiana Collection, is an extensive repository of materials dating from the Edo and Meiji periods. The documents stem from the estates of the German Japan researcher Philipp Franz von Siebold (1796–1866) and his son Alexander (1846–1911).
The collection came to Bochum in 1966 and was recorded on microfilm in 1983 to ensure its continued preservation. Further manuscripts, photographs, and microfilms that had originally belonged to the collection were purchased in the 1980s and added to the Bochum collection. In order to facilitate access to the documents a catalogue was compiled which was published as part III of the publication series Acta Sieboldiana in 1989. With the publication of the catalogue, details about the collection were made known to a broad range of researchers for the first time.
