The North Carolina Japan Center was established in July 1980 by Governor James B. Hunt to strengthen the state's academic, economic, scientific, and cultural ties with Japan. In its many aspects, the Center serves as a focal point for interaction between Japanese and North Carolinians. It is a statewide resource intended to assist all citizens, universities, companies, and public and private institutions in relations with the Japanese. The North Carolina Japan Center works to inform the people of the state about modern Japan and its people. It also provides information and resources for Japanese citizens living in North Carolina. There are currently seven chapters of the Center at other North Carolina universities, which spread the efforts more uniformly across the state.
The records of the North Carolina Japan Center at North Carolina State University contain brochures describing the center and its function, memos, information about the North Carolina Japan Center Fellows program and the Harry C. Kelly Memorial Fund for United State-Japan Scientific Cooperation, and information on other programs and activities put on by the Center. Materials range in date from 1980 to 1986.
The records of the North Carolina Japan Center at North Carolina State University are arranged alphapetically by topic or title.
