Joseonwangjosillok Annals of the Joseon Dynasty
The Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910) has been aptly referred to as the dynasty of records. In particular, this is centered around the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty (Joseonwangjosillok), a comprehensive compilation of the dynasty’s history. The Joseon Dynasty sought to maintain an independent and organized system of records for the documentation and preservation of history without distortion. The Annals recorded Korea’s history over a period of 472 years, from 1392 to 1863, which included 25 rulers, from King Taejo (r. 1392-1398) to King Cheoljong (r. 1849-1863). Even today, these records continue to provide valuable insight into the contemporary affairs of the Korean Peninsula.
