Kyujanggak (English name)

Japanese: 奎章閣 - けいしょうかく（英語表記）Kyujanggak

An office for storing documents during the Joseon Dynasty (Yi Dynasty) in Korea. Also called the Cabinet. It was originally established in the 20th year of King Sukjong's reign (1694). In the year of King Jeongjo's accession to the throne (1776), a building was built called Gyujanggak, and by the end of the Joseon Dynasty it had become a bureau of the Royal Palace. It managed the poems, handwriting, orders, posthumous teachings, and sanpu of past kings. It also preserved and reprinted Chinese classics. After the Japan-Korea Annexation, its collection was transferred to the Government-General's Office and then to Keijo University.
