화해와 번영을 위한 역사·영토 문제 인식
The Perception of Historical and Territorial Issues for Reconciliation and Prosperity The situation of Northeast Asia today is often compared to that of Europe on the brink of World War I exactly a hundred years ago. In both continents, although a hundred years and oceans apart, countries are, or were, in conflict with one another over historical or territorial issues. Against this backdrop, the Northeast Asian History Foundation's roles have never been greater.

『전함 팔라다』1854년 러시아인의 조선 탐사 기록
NAHF's Publication The Frigate Pallada The Frigate Pallada, an Account of the Russian Exploration of Korea in 1854 The NAHF has published The Frigate Pallada, by the Russian literary giant Ivan Goncharov (1812-1891), translated into Korean by Moon Joon-il. The Frigate Pallada is a travelogue by Ivan Goncharov based on the journal and letters he wrote during his journey aboard the titular ship as a secretary of Admiral Putiatin. Goncharove left an account of his exploration of the island Geomundo and the eastern coast of Korea in 1854. It offers a glimpse into imperial Russia's perception of the history and image of Korea. His comparative description of China and Rukyu (琉球, present-day Okinawa of Japan) and introduction to the histories of these countries suggest that the Russians at the time had already accumulated quite extensive knowledge of the Northeast Asian region.

동아시아 격변기 유교적 관료의 전형 린쩌쉬
Lin Zexu, a Typical Confucian Bureaucrat during the Rapidly Changing Period of East Asian History If you ask the Chinese which of modern figures they respect most, their answers will always include Lin Zexu (1785-1850), who is thought of as 'an intellectual who saw the world with fresh eyes' during the rapidly changing period of East Asian history and as 'a patriotic figure who stood up against foreign aggression.' Lin Zexu made a reputation for his strict handling of the opium problem and active preparation against British aggression. How should we perceive him and still stay true to historical facts?

What is the 'Coomaraswamy Report'? Recently, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Navanethem Pillay issued a statement urging the Japanese government to resolve the 'comfort women' issue as soon as possible. In addition, in late July, the United Nations Commission on Human Rights (UNCHR) demanded that "Japan should make a public apology to 'comfort women' victims and acknowledge and accept responsibility," in a voice more critical toward the Japanese government than ever before since the UNCHR's adoption of the 1996 resolution, which was based on the report by the Special Rapporteur (on Violence against Women) Radhika Coomaraswamy.

발해의 도시와 발해인의 삶
Historic Sites and Relics_Balhae: Its Cities and People's Lives Founded by Daejoyeoung, one of the drifting people of Koguryo, Balhae enriched our history through its remarkable development into what was known as the Culturally Advanced Nation East of the Sea. The site of Kraskino Fortress in the Khasansky District of Russia is close to the Korean Peninsula across the Duman River bordered with China, and it was referred to as Yeomju (鹽州) during the Balhae period. The Kraskino Fortress site is an important site because it proves that Balhae, as a base for exchange between Silla and Japan, was active in exchange with other countries and diverse in its culture and that it also maintained its unique culture while inheriting that of Koguryo. The NAHF has excavated and investigated the Kraskino Fortress site every summer since its foundation in 2006, and, through this year's investigation, proved that Balhae had planned and designed a city with well organized roads, not only in the capital but in the local fortress.
제6회 역사영상 심포지엄 한·일 젊은이들, 공생사회에서 '역사'를 이야기하다
The 6th Historical Cinema Symposium The Youth of Korea and Japan Talk About 'History' in Symbiotic Society The 6th Historical Cinema Symposium was held under the title 'Transnational Cinema Symposium 2014' on July 19, 2014 at Rikkyo University in Japan. This is the second Transnational Cinema Symposium, after the first one last year, that has been co-hosted with the College of Intercultural Communication at Rikkyo University. The purpose of this year's symposium was to criticize and reflect on historical perception in East Asia by rediscovering 'new Korean-Japanese films,' or films that break down borders between nations. And the symposium addressed the topic of 'The Historical Perception of the Youth Living in Japan and Korea, Countries Moving Toward a Symbiotic Society,' in an effort to understand the multi-identity of the Korean-Japanese youth in connection with the stories of youths growing up in multi-cultural families in Korea.

일제침탈사 국제공동연구 워크숍 '강제동원' 연구의 공통주제 모색을 위한 첫걸음
Joint International Research Workshop on the History of Imperial Japan's Colonial Exploitation The First Step Towards Finding a Common Topic for 'Forced Labor' Research On July 29, 2014, the Northeast Asian History Foundation held a joint international research workshop on the history of Japan's colonial exploitation. To cope with the Abe administration's denial of imperial Japan's past of exploiting its neighboring countries, the NAHF had established a mid- to long-term plan to host a series of annual international conferences that would address each of six topics regarding colonial exploitation suffered by Korea (comfort women, forced labor, mass murder, the policy of recreating imperial subjects, education on the state of exploitation, and the plunder of cultural properties). The first of this series of conferences is scheduled to be held this fall to address the topic of 'forced labor.' And this workshop is meant to be a preparatory step for that conference.
