Korean Classics Indexing Project Database is a database of essay-level titles (about 1,060,000 entries) indexed for a collection of more than 3,000 volumes of Korean classic anthologies 《韓國歷代文集叢書》written in Chinese characters by more than 3,000 Korean writers from 7th century to early 20th century.
Research Value: Korean classic anthologies written in Chinese contain a diversity of information on historical events, literature, diplomacy, economics and so on. They provide very useful materials for study and research on East Asian History and cultural development. The database serves as a discovery tool to enable efficient retrieval of pertinent materials from the collection.
The Project is a digital humanities initiative of three departments at CityU (Library, Chinese Civilization Centre and the Department of Chinese, Translation and Linguistics). It is also a cross-regional collaboration among CityU, Jeju National University (Korea), the East Asian Library of University of California, Berkeley and Kyungin (Korea), the publisher of the collection of anthologies.
