KUJC Archive aims to play the role of digital library for both professional scholars and general public with its massive materials on Japanese studies. The system is especially convenient for searching articles on Japan, journals, nontexual records, and organized archiving of Japanese documents from the Korean Peninsula and Machuria during the Japanese colonial era.

The Global Institute for Japanese Studies at Korea University provides 50,000 Japanese documents from colonial Korea and Manchuria offering their bibliographies and locations; through copyright confirmation, the original documentation can be viewed as well. Also, table of contends for 178 books from KUJC collection including Japanese Studies Collection, Modern Japanese Studies Collection, Japanese Classic Literature Collection, Sourcebook Collection, Japanese Mystery Collection and Japanese-Language Literature from Colonial Era Collection, too can be found; and the original texts will be soon available.

We provide the contents of KUJC’s two academic journals- Japan Studies and Gwakyoung: The Journal of Japanese-Language Literature Studies - in order to share our research with the global academic world. Also, popularizing of Japanese studies is KUJC’s another purpose; the archive provides materials including special lectures, colloquium, tape-recording of celebrities’ lectures, and nontexual records(pictures). They are available for anyone who is interested.

The Global Institute for Japanese Studies at Korea University, selected as one of Japanese studies institutes in Humanities Korea project, has been enhancing research capabilities so that it grows to be a global hub for Japanese studies. KUJC Archive is expected to play the core role for this purpose.
