The project includes: conducting oral interviews with descendants of independence patriots from Gyeonggi Province and publishing an oral history book; collecting, donating, and exhibiting materials related to the independence movement; and producing video content on the history of the independence movement in Gyeonggi Province based on the collected materials.

The main focus is to establish a foundation for public utilization by systematically collecting materials and preserving records.

Kim Hana, Director of Welfare at Gyeonggi Province, stated, "This material collection project is a meaningful starting point for organizing the history of the independence movement in Gyeonggi Province and restoring solidarity with the descendants of independence patriots.
