Technical Support Board
The Technical Support Board plays a critical role in assisting the projects conducted at the Digital Archive Research Center for Japanese Cultural Resources (hereafter "the Center"). The board manages the fundamental research environment, such as the server and cloud space and the SNS system that the Center makes available to the projects it supports. In addition, the board staff provides the following four types of technical support and advice to assist each project's research activities.
