Ground Zero 1945: Hiroshima Archive to relay the experience to future generations

August 6th, 2015

For the purpose of preserving invaluable accounts of the experiences of A-bomb survivors as well as other records on the bombing, the Hiroshima Archive presents a compilation of various materials contributed by such bodies as the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, the Hiroshima Jogakuin Junior & Senior High School, and the Hachioji Hibakusha (A-bomb Survivors) Association.

This is a pluralistic digital archive with all the collected data mapped out digitally on a virtual globe.

The archive was created in a joint effort between the Hidenori Watanave Laboratory at the Faculty of System Design, Tokyo Metropolitan University, and Hiroshima Jogakuin Junior & Senior High School. The materials serve as an exceptional source of insight into the reality of the atomic bombing in Hiroshima, particularly the video interviews of A-bomb survivors who have hitherto never given their own accounts publicly. These interviews were conducted by student volunteers from the Hiroshima Jogakuin Junior & Senior High School.
