　The YAMAZAKI Motoki Papers are a collection of about 540 South Manchuria Railway business documents kept by YAMAZAKI Motoki, the last president of the organization. The papers were purchased by the Institute of Developing Economies Library（IDE Library） in 1994, when YAMAZAKI’s personal documents were put up for sale at a second-hand bookstore after his death. The documents mainly span from 1923, when YAMAZAKI was appointed to the President's Office, to 1936, when he retired as a director due to the expiration of his term.
　The IDE Library holds original documents and publishes electronic images online.
