Promotion of Korean Studies in Chungcheong

Private collections of national studies materials scattered throughout the Chungcheong region are in danger of extinction due to the dismantling of traditional villages and a lack of social awareness. We collect, organize, and preserve national studies materials through continuous research, and make an effort to pass on valuable materials to future generations. In addition, we are making efforts to meet the diverse needs of modern society for Korean studies materials, through translation projects of classical materials, academic seminars, and digital archives, thereby promoting the popularization and globalization of Korean studies.

oTranslation and Research

Ancient Koreanology materials are written in ancient languages such as Chinese, full cursive script, and Idu script, making it difficult for modern people to access them. By translating these materials into modern Korean to facilitate public access, we intend to expand the basis of national studies and contribute to the utilization of various educational and cultural industries required by modern society.

In order to prevent damage to national studies materials, we safely preserve them for the next generation through state-of-the-art facilities and preservation treatment by professional personnel.

oDigital Archiving

In order to utilize the historical and cultural values of national studies materials, we plan to a digital archive to lay the foundation for digital-based education and research on national studies, and to respond to the acceleration of digitization by creating source contents in the cultural industry.
