OKOCC (Center Director Kim Young-geun) under OKA held a "donation ceremony for overseas Koreans data" at the center's headquarters on the 26th.
In order to contribute to academic research on overseas Koreans, Jeong Ju-soo donated 618 research materials in the family register and immigration field since the establishment of the government, including the "Korean Immigration History (1967, by Hyun Kyu-hwan)," which contains the history of immigration of overseas Koreans. This is the second donation activity after donating 1,060 books related to overseas Koreans to the Incheon Immigration Museum in 2017.
Jeong Ju-su, a lawyer, started collecting data while working as a family register and registration officer in the National Court Administration in 1962, and after signing the Korea-Japan Agreement in 1965, he was in charge of restoring the family register of Koreans in Japan, adding affection and enthusiasm to collect related data.
Among the donated materials, more than 100 copies of modern literature published from Japanese colonial era to before liberation, which are not easy to find now, are also included. These data will be kept in the archives after the reorganization of the overseas Koreans' archives and used as reference materials for research on overseas Koreans.
OKOCC President Kim Young-geun said, "Thank you for donating valuable data in the history of overseas Koreans' migration," and added, "When the overseas Koreans' archives are fully operated, we will support the donated data to be used as important research data for overseas Koreans."
Chung Ju-soo, a lawyer, said, "I am happy that the data I have collected throughout my life can be used through OKOCC, a public institution."
