The RAS Korea Library

The RAS library is housed in the RAS office.

The entire library catalogue as brought up-to-date recently, in MS Excel format

Key to the Catalogue:

Books in the Korean (and other languages) section are listed in green (although many art texts in Korean are still in the general library)
Books in the Oversize section are listed in blue.
Books in the Rare Books section are listed in red.

Books highlighted in grey are being considered for removal as they have little connection to Korea.


The catalogue follows the Library of Congress system
