8	Frederick W. Gookin (1853-1936) and His Roles in the Western Receptions of Japanese Woodblock Prints
	Professor and Chair, University of Zurich, Section for East Asian Art　Hans Bjarne THOMSEN
	Frederick W. Gookin was a tremendously influential scholar, curator, and consultant on Japanese woodblock prints. There are traces of his writings and activities in a large number of archives and public institutions. He was one of the earliest promoters of prints, and together with the architect Frank Lloyd Wright (a close collaborator of Gookin) helped to form and direct many of the leading collections of the early 20th century. He was, for example, a leading voice in the collection of Clarance and Kate Buckingham and and the Spaulding Brothers (now in the Chicago Art Institute and the Boston MFA, respectively). His network of contacts spread across the world, there exists, for example, a collection of his correspondence with the kabuki scholar Ihara Toshiro, the author of Kabuki nenpyo. He was a born letter writer and educator and his letters are very informative and tell much about the state of woodblock print studies and research in the beginning of the 20th century. In short, he was important in the exhibition, the collection, dealing, and the conservation of Japanese prints, and helped to educate entire generations of collector and museum professionals. 　The project aims to gather the letters and unpublished materials left by Gookin and his correspondents and to gather them into a database and webpage innorder to fascilitate undersrtanding and future research on this key figure in the Western reception of Japanese woodblock prints.

10	Archiving and Utilization of Japanese Performing Arts Materials on GloPAD (Global Performing Arts Database) and JPARC (Japanese Performing Arts Resource Center)
	Associate Professor, East Asian Langueges and Cultural Studies, University of California at Santa Barbara　Katherine SALTZMAN-LI
	To develop the Global Performing Arts website, database (GloPAD), and Japan Resource Center (JPARC), we have aimed at a general overhaul and upgrading of the website. This involves 1) reorganizing the presentation of traditional performing arts on JPARC 2) building a system for enabling multi-lingual, multi-media interactive drama texts 3) launching teacher-student projects to develop portals; and 4) staging conferences with guest performers, videotaping parts, and then editing, subtitling and integrating these videos into web pages. Each aspect is designed to explore different possibilities that can be realized through the combined goals, efforts, and skills of the GloPAC and ARC teams. Groundwork laid in 2014 was developed during 2015 through building a new GloPAC and JPARC site [not yet open to the public], activating a system for interactive texts, and editing videos, as well as holding conferences and JPARC related college classes. Next year we hope to have the renewed GloPAC/JPARC ready for public viewing.
