Jeoksangsan National Archives Site (적상산사고지)
- http://eng.muju.go.kr/index.9is
Overview
During the Japanese invasion of 1592, many of the National Archives in Seoul and the surrounding area were burned down. After this, the archives were duplicated and stored in a variety of locations thoughout the county. The National Archives of Jeoksangsan Mountain was founded in 1614, when important national archives were moved from Myohyang Confucian Academy, with others being added in 1641. This national archives site served a very important role throughout over 300 years of Korea’s history, until it was closed by the Japanese during the Japanese occupation.
