Ulleung-gun Dokdo Museum published the research series "Ulleung-gun Cultural Heritage Seen Through Photos and Maps" on the 9th.

Research and investigation of Ulleung-gun's cultural heritage have been nonexistent since the publication of the "Cultural Heritage Distribution Map - Ulleung-gun" by the Gyeongsangbuk-do Cultural Heritage Research Institute in 2002, and the location information was inaccurate, limiting its practical use.

In the newly published book, a research project was conducted to identify precise location information of the cultural heritage, and based on the results, the book was compiled to provide more accurate information.

To prepare this research series, the Dokdo Museum classified Ulleung-do's cultural heritage by type into natural heritage, ancient tomb clusters, epigraphy, old houses, and folklore, and conducted a survey and documentation project on 84 meaningful and extant cultural heritage sites among them.

Using these results, the book was organized by period and region, ranging from ancient cultural heritage such as the Namsaeri and Hyeonpori ancient tomb clusters to modern cultural heritage like the Wolsong Kim clan Jeolbu Monument.

This research series will be distributed to museums nationwide and related institutions connected to Dokdo, and at the same time, to make it easily accessible to the general public, the PDF file of the book will be available for download on the Dokdo Museum website.

Nam Han-kwon, the county governor, said, "We will do our best to serve as a foundation for preserving and utilizing Ulleung-do's history and culture through the investigation, research, and documentation of cultural heritage that fully preserves the lives and culture of Ulleung-do residents."
