August 18, 2005: Obituary for David Shively: U. C. Berkeley Japan Bibliophile
"At the East Asian Library, Shively directed the conservation and cataloguing of the Mitsui Collection of early Japanese printed books and maps, the largest such collection outside Japan.
The Mutsui Collection is the most important holding and the core of the rare book collection at the East Asian Library, said Peter Zhou, the library's director.
"It's rare to find a man of his status with expertise on the academic front, and a devotion to the library work," Zhou said."
