Japan Chronicle Online provides full-text access to the digitised English-language Japan Chronicle Weekly (1902–1940), together with its predecessor, the Kobe Weekly Chronicle (1900–1901). Published in Kobe, the newspaper offered contemporary news, commentary, and opinion on Japan’s modernisation, politics, society, economy, and East Asian affairs during a period of profound social and political change. It is a valuable primary source for research in Japanese studies, East Asian history, international relations, colonialism, media studies, and Chinese–Japanese relations in the first half of the twentieth century.
The trial will end on 30 November 2026 (Monday).
