Starting in 1999, the Samurai Archives Japanese history page was developed by C.E.West and F.W.Seal. R. Noelle, a friend of West's, was trying his hand at running a web server over his cable internet connection from his apartment, and offered to host a website.  West, remembering the utter lack of useful internet sources on Japanese history during his thesis on Oda Nobunaga in 1997, thought that a Japanese history website would be a neat idea.  At the time, Seal was more interested in WWII history, and declined for a time, but eventually came around.
