Kim Koo Korean Collection
It includes over 1,800 volumes (mostly Korean language materials with some English books) of rich and comprehensive literature on Korean history, ranging from the ancient period to the contemporary foundation and democratization of the nation state of South Korea. The collection particularly focuses on the primary and secondary sources of the Japanese colonial period (1910-1945), illustrating a complex political tension during the period, of various ideologies, geographies, and individuals. The collection was made possible by a gift of the Kim Koo Foundation in 2009. Open to the public, it is now housed in the East Asian Collection at the Rockefeller Library and the Kim Koo Library at the Watsons Institute for International and Public Affairs.Format(s): Books, Serials
