발해 염주성과 중대성첩
Balhae's Yeomju Fortress and Jungdaeseong-Cheop Balhae, which disappeared from the stage of history, is being revived with the excavation of Balhae’s Yeomju Fortress in Kraskino, Russia’s Primorsky Krai. The Kraskino Fortress, called the Yeomju Fortress in Balhae at the time, was the center of marine and land transportation. Trade between Balhae and Japan, in particular, can be confirmed through the Jungdaeseong-Cheop, which is preserved in Japan’s Imperial Household Agency. Since 2006, the Foundation has been conducting an excavation survey of the Yeomju Fortress in Balhae until the present in cooperation with the Institute of History, Archaeology and Ethnography, Far-Eastern Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences.

발해와 일본의 갈라진 틈을 메운 사람들
The People who bridged the Rift between Balhae and Japan East Asia in the 8th century blossomed with a brisk civilization interchange within the network of exchanges formed at the initiative of the Tang Empire. Silla and Japan were in the same position of coping with estranged political and diplomatic relations with Tang until the early 7th century, so they had unprecedentedly active exchanges. However, as the relationship between Silla and Tang recovered and Balhae was founded in the old territory of Goguryeo, the relationship between Silla and Japan could not hold out any longer. On the other hand, Balhae and Japan began to maintain close relations from the mid-8th century. Balhae sent 34 official delegations to Japan, and Japan visited Balhae 13 times. Considering that regular voyages between the countries were never easy, traces of 47 rounds of exchange during Balhae's relatively short history of 229 years show that their binational relationship was very close.

새로운 학술 교류의 장, 2019년 독도 학술포럼
2019 Dokdo Academic Forum: A New Site for Academic Exchange Our Foundation designated the week around October 25 as a “history week” and pressed for a variety of events related to history and Dokdo. This is not unrelated to the Korean Empire Edict No. 41 enacted on October 25, 1900. Edict No. 41 defined Dokdo as an administrative district of Uldo-gun, becoming the important basis for an argument proving Korea’s ownership of Dokdo. The Foundation’s Dokdo Research Institute also held the 2019 Dokdo Academic Forum during the “history week”. Researchers at the institute made topic presentations with their research related to Dokdo. The forum was intended to look at the “achievements of Dokdo research and inter-disciplinary research tasks” comprehensively through subject presentations on various disciplines, including the history, geography, law, and policies related to Dokdo.

대한민국 동해바다 끝, 울릉도·독도를 가다 "나는 대한민국 독도지킴이, 독도 전시해설사입니다"
Sailing to the Easternmost Islands of Ulleungdo and Dokdo “I Am a Dokdo Docent, Defending Dokdo” I made an on-site survey of Ulleungdo and Dokdo through the Northeast Asian History Foundation’s first-term educational course of the Dokdo exhibit explanation from November 7th through the 10th. The Foundation launched the educational course this year with the aim of empowering officials in charge of exhibit explanation in the Dokdo Exhibition Hall under the Ministry of Education and training Dokdo docents. Before the survey, 30-hour theory classes were held for five weeks between August 20 and September 17, and the on-site survey of Ulleungdo and Dokdo was planned for those who completed the theory classes.

EBS 독도의 날 특집 다큐멘터리 <설민석의 독도路> 제작기
How "Seol Min-suk's Dokdo Road", an EBS Special Documentary on Dokdo Day, Was Produced “I will go myself. I have to go, although I am a history teacher in name only.” In August, EBS’s history documentary production staff and Dr. Kim Young-soo of the Northeast Asian History Foundation (the Foundation hereafter) got together at the office of Mr. Seol Min-suk in Bundang-gu of Seongnam, Gyeonggi-do Province. It took quite a while before we could meet Seol, who had become the most sought-after person in the broadcasting community, but it took less than three minutes from the moment we met to decide on his appearance.

발해가 멸망한 원인은 무엇일까
What was the Cause of Balhae's Collapse? How much do we know about the ancient kingdom of Balhae that existed for 200 years as north and south states from the late 7th to the early 10th centuries along with Silla? Let’s start a historical journey, centering on the primary historical records related to Balhae and newly discovered data. It will be interesting to dig out the hidden stories from Balhae history along with the diversity of interpretation and the importance of data.
