Purpose of saveMLAK

In March 11 2011, thousands of people died or missing in 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. Although the first step should be to search missing people, salvaging the administrative services, such as libraries, archives, museums, community centers (MLAK), would be also important to assist the disaster survivors.

However, it is expected to take many years and costs to restore those services, because many of them were also affected by the earthquakes and tsunami.

saveMLAK is gathering and summerizing information on the damages of the people and facilities in the disaster area and the requests for assistance from the victims. We, librarians, curators, archivists and similar jobs, also would like to provide what musems, libraries, archives and community centers can do for them.

Not all pages in this site are up to date or have the best information. Anyone can edit all pages in this site. We welcome any information from those who live in and go to the quake-hit areas, especially from the staff of MLAK. Contributions from non-professionals in other areas are also welcome. For more information, see saveMLAK:Editing policy.
