====== Databases ======

Please note that the **Databases** section is the most heavily under construction. There is an immense number of databases on diverse topics in existence. We are currently negotiating collaborations to create a separate, more expansive platform that will be searchable and user-driven to contain the extensive databases available in Japan and the US.
