The Broadcast Programming Center of Japan (BPCJ) is a nonprofit organization established jointly by Japanese broadcasters in March 1968. Its purpose is to ensure the healthy development of the Japanese broadcasting industry. The BPCJ operates an archive facility "Broadcast Library" located in Yokohama, and specialized in broadcast programs in Japan under the Broadcasting Law. The Broadcast Library systematically preserves TV and radio programs and CMs broadcasted in Japan, and makes them available to the public for viewing at no cost.

The Kansai University Open Research Center for Asian Studies (KU-ORCAS) will open up the university's "knowledge" to the whole society by making the digital archives accessible to all people around the world, as well as by opening up our research resources, research groups, research know-how, and research results. In addition to providing useful data not only to East Asian researchers but also to researchers in other fields, businesses, local governments, and citizens, we aim to return the results of our research to society by discovering new value in the humanities.

With the aid of supporters from a range of fields, The Tsubouchi Memorial Theatre Museum, Waseda University, familiarly known as "Enpaku", was founded in October 1928 to commemorate the 70th birthday of Professor Tsubouchi Shoyo and the completion by him of the translation into Japanese of all 40 volumes of the "Complete Works of Shakespeare", a task to which the Professor had devoted half his life. Since then, as Asia's only museum dedicated solely to the theatre, Enpaku has been engaged in collecting works relating to the theatre and motion pictures both in Japan and all around the world. Its extensive collection of about one million works that has been amassed over 85 years may be termed as "the history of theatre" itself. Meanwhile it also contributes to researchers from a wide range of fields, extending from the theatre and motion pictures to other areas such as literature, history, clothing and construction.

Over the course of its 160-year-plus history, Keio University has accumulated a vast collection of cultural artifacts from a diverse range of academic spheres. These collections are held and used not only in Keio’s libraries and research institutes but also at its undergraduate faculties, affiliated schools, and various other locations on campus, and a rich array of databases for the collections have been compiled reflecting the expertise of these respective institutions. Now, Keio Museum Commons (KeMCo) has developed the Keio Object Hub portal site, which provides a comprehensive overview of art and culture at Keio University.

Keio University libraries (Media Centers) on each of six major campuses support the educational, research, and medical activities.
