Abstract: This paper introduces the “archive database” of special collections of Chinese materials developed by Japanese representative university libraries. It provides information for further deepening the international cooperation between Chinese and Japanese university libraries and scholars, and also provides reference for the construction of database in Chinese universities. According to the query results of “Global Chinese Distribution GIS System” in China, “National Chinese Classics Database” in Japan, and open databases of university libraries in Japan, 12 university libraries from north to south in Japan were selected for analysis. The open access database in Japanese university libraries not only protects the cultural heritage, but also expands and promotes academic research. According to the collections of different universities, we can excavate the rare Chinese historical materials collected in Japan, and carry out the research on the combination of Chinese historical materials.
