Abstract

Photographic collections are relatively undeveloped in Japan, although in the last decade a national photographic museum has been established, and other museums have opened departments of photography. Problems of access to collections of photographs of works of art have impeded the study of art history, but the capacity of new technologies to store, and to facilitate the retrieval of, visual images, is beginning to transform the situation.
