This cultural heritage collection consists of old documents and printed materials held in the ancestral family residence of Keomgan Jo Jung (1555-1636), a scholar and official during the reigns of Kings Seonjo and Injo of Joseon dynasty. Though Jo's residence contained numerous old documents and printed materials transmitted over five centuries, the investigation focused on old documents created between 1554 (ninth year of King Myeongjong) and 1670 (eleventh year of King Hyeonjong), including seven property-division documents; forty-seven official appointment certificates and similar documents issued between 1601 and 1628; and three categories of fifty-five items total. Additionally, printed works were surveyed, notably early Joseon printings including Chekyakjae Seongsaeng Haksimjip and Pilwon Japgi, as well as Chinese texts, examining seven different editions across seven volumes. The property-division documents from the Myeongjong-Hyeonjong period provide crucial research materials for contemporary society and economic history, while official appointment documents from the Seonjo-Injo period contribute significantly to understanding personnel administration systems. Although numerous volumes are incomplete, the printed materials serve important roles in bibliography research and educational-cultural history investigation. Particularly noteworthy are Chekyakjae Seongsaeng Haksimjip as a rare edition and Jeonsanseongbeop as a unique surviving copy, both possessing exceptional value.
