The Institute for Korean Historical Studies was established on February 21, 1986, as a private research institute, with these aims: first, facilitating collaborative researches on issues of Korean History, second, sharing the fruits of our research with the public, third, suggesting a desirable direction Korea should take in the future through reflections on its history, and fourth, contributing to making Korea a more democratic nation and bringing about peaceful reunification of the peninsula.
The institute has relied on the participation of citizens interested in historical studies in its management, as well as historical researchers. Critical Review of History, a quarterly journal established in 1987, has made a great contribution to sharing modern studies of Korean history with the public. Also, Critical Studies on Modern Korean History was first published in 1996, as an academic journal on modern history of Korea, and has spearheaded fresh and in-depth studies on this controversial area of Korean history.
The Institute for Korean Historical Studies hosts an annual symposium, where lively and fruitful discussions on recent issues of Korean history are had by top researchers. Also, the institute holds places for debate and conferences, leading critical historical research. Furthermore, with an aim of sharing the recent historical studies with more citizens it hosts lectures and history trips, open to the public.
The Institute for Korean Historical Studies has regular academic exchanges with various overseas research institutes in Japan, China, Taiwan, Germany, etc., as well as cooperates with domestic institutes and non-governmental organizations. The institute is an active member of an international solidarity for promoting peace and human rights in East Asia.
The Institute for Korean Historical Studies firmly believes a right historical awareness is a key to solving many thorny issues in Korea. Join us! Your participation will support historical researches and make a difference for human right, peace and justice.
