National Cultural Heritage Portal Revamped... Enhanced Search Functionality

[Asia Economy Reporter Jonggil Lee] The Cultural Heritage Administration announced on the 6th that it has enhanced the search functionality of the National Cultural Heritage Portal. The National Cultural Heritage Portal is a portal site that provides over 2.5 million cultural heritage contents, including designated cultural properties and museum-held artifacts. Users can access abundant information on palaces and Jongmyo Shrine, Joseon royal tombs, documentary heritage, UNESCO-listed heritage, 3D cultural heritage, and more.

The Cultural Heritage Administration has enabled integrated cultural heritage searches as well as category-specific and region-specific conditional searches from the main page. In conditional searches, users can set criteria such as the name of the cultural property, category, designation number, designation year, and region to find cultural heritage items. Additionally, the search function was modified so that the searched terms appear not only in the designated names of cultural properties but also in their descriptions. Furthermore, a ‘Cultural Heritage Search’ feature was added to the top menu of the Cultural Heritage Administration’s website. The Administration plans to replace photo materials with high-resolution images and expand the content going forward.
