History and Current Status
History
Footprints of University Press Cultural Center started from the publication department of Yonhi College in 1929. Choi, Hyun Bae published the first sheet of Urimalbon in 1929, and on the next year Yonyi College Humanities Research Collection (1 Collection) Chosun Umoon Yungoo was published. After the end of Japanese colonial and the Korean War, the academic and educational activities in this period were in a pause state. Then in June 15 1953, the re-publication of "Yonhi Chun-Chu" in Busan during the evacuation also succeeded to the issuing of the newspaper. Also at the same year in November acting Chun-Chusa publication was re-established and "Hamlet” that professor Choi Jaeseo had translated was published. After war wounds were healed throughout the nation, attention towards academic culture expanded and, in response to this, the role of the publication was further strengthened. The demand for a separate department for publication especially Korean Studies related rare books or research Papers, academic books. Hence in October 13 1955 University Publishing Center was established with the authorization of the Ministry of Education.
