Tamiji Kawamura was a zoologist who gave the first lecture about animal ecology in Japan at Kyoto Imperial University. For a long time, this collection has been left at an official residence of Otsu Hydrobiological Station. In 1998, when the residence was demolished, the collection was moved to Center for Ecological Research. Then in 2002, it was transferred to the Kyoto University Museum. It contains his work such as "Animal ecology," "Freshwater Biology in Japan," "Science of Birdsongs," his manuscripts, notebooks, letters, drawings, and books that he used. This precious collection shows his wide range of research activities.
