The Informatization of Korean Historical Data

Computerization of Korean historical data began with electronic publications and has developed toward publication of CD-ROMs and internet services through websites. Much of the data were computerized in 2000, and a rapid increase in internet users has made it possible to provide enormous amounts of history data through various websites. Nowadays, so much data have been computerized that information on computerized data may become necessary for effective use of such data. In compliance with this necessity, this article will introduce the present situation of computerization of Korean historical data and provide information helpful to users. Various data such as chronology, literary works, codes of law, census registration, old documents, and maps were computerized. Reports on excavation in archaeology and field works are served through the web. For researchers to choose and develop a research topic, it is necessary to gather information on existing results and approach them. I will introduce several sites containing lists of such information and also some of the typical computerized data of Korean history from the viewpoint of convenience and historical value. There are many websites registered on the internet. Among them, those related to history are being operated by institutions for Korean studies, related departments of universities, academic societies, personal home pages, and amateur angler clubs, etc. These websites contain a variety of information lists such as original texts, publication lists, contents of the activities of academic societies, introductions to lectures, data concerning relics and ruins, and personal interests.
