　Since its opening in 1982, the Yamashiro Local History Museum has been collecting and preserving materials for over 40 years. Supported by donations and deposits from everyone, today we have collected over 80,000 materials across three fields: archaeology, folklore, and history.
　This exhibition will showcase a carefully selected selection of materials collected in recent years that particularly convey the history and culture of the Minamiyamashiro region. A wide variety of materials will be gathered together, including materials related to the Himachiko sect, which are widely found in villages in the Minamiyamashiro region, the Kitamura Land Survey Register, and the Furukawa family documents, which are a collection of ancient documents from the early modern period to the modern era. In addition to the new collection, we will also exhibit the Okada Kuni Shrine documents, which were newly designated as a Kyoto Prefecture designated cultural property in 2023, and introduce their appeal once again.
　We hope that this exhibition will be an opportunity to connect the cultural assets that have been passed down in the region to the future. We hope that through this exhibition, visitors will become more interested in the history and culture of the Minamiyamashiro region, and also gain a greater understanding of the museum’s important work of collecting materials.
