  The most important primary source for this module is the "Vaccine Travel Record" (Hakushin-yō ōraidome). Kasahara Hakuō, a town doctor and pioneering vaccinator from Fukui town, recorded nine volumes (the first of them is missing) between 1849 and 1858, with one final entry from 1860. He used this record to take notes as well as copy correspondences and documents about retransmissions, rules, procedures, and other matters regarding the movement of the vaccine to and from Echizen and within the province. 
  
  Another vaccine-related record (Senkyōroku) in Kasahara Hakuō's archive describes Hakuō's trip to Kyoto and back to Fukui to carry the vaccine to Echizen in 1849. Only volume 5 of this record has survived.
  
  In this module, the pages related to Ōno domain are based on new research on the "Vaccine Travel Record" and other primary sources. Pages about Fukui domain draw on research by Yanagisawa Fumiko, Ban Isoshiro, Umihara Ryō, and other scholars, who have likewise made use of the "Vaccine Travel Record." The record has been published as Hakushinki: Hakushin yō oraidome (Fukui: Fukui-ken Ishikai, 1997).
