Over the course of its 160-year-plus history, Keio University has accumulated a vast collection of cultural artefacts from a diverse range of academic spheres. These collections are held and used not only in Keio’s libraries and research institutes but also at its undergraduate faculties, affiliated schools, and various other locations on campus, and a rich array of databases for the collections have been compiled reflecting the expertise of these respective institutions.
The Keio Object Hub is a portal site which provides a comprehensive overview of art and culture at Keio University by linking these databases together and tying them in with the culture-related activities taking place at the university, including exhibitions and lectures.
At the time of its launch, the portal site includes information on approximately 11,500 cultural assets, and more collections are to be added in the future.
