This is a major and fundamental database that contains statistical materials such as the "Agricultural Cooperative Directory" and "Management Analysis" published after the war in each prefecture, as well as the "Representative Meeting Materials" of agricultural cooperatives from all over the country. The database also includes rare agricultural documents from the prewar and mid-war periods. The total number of items in the first distribution is over 8,000. The holdings of these materials are limited in libraries nationwide, especially of the Representative meeting materials. This database will enable cross-sectional searches and browsing.
The materials in this database can be regarded as basic materials for the study of Japanese agriculture and have important value as regional materials.
The database contains materials on the general meeting of representatives held once a year in agricultural cooperatives.
It is similar to a general meeting of shareholders in a corporation.
The general meeting is held to approve financial statements, determine business plans and budgets, elect officers, and change the articles of incorporation.
The materials include business reports, financial statements, etc., and are the basic documents for understanding the status of the cooperative.
