These books have been preserved by Hamyang Bak’s Clan, and they are mostly from the late Joseon Period. Among all the books, 46 in 7 types were collectively designated as Treasure in recognition of their historical values. Written by Bak Ju-dae (pen-name: Naam, 1836-1912), a Confucian scholar of the late Joseon Period, Naam surok records the radically changing social order chronologically. This book is owned by the Jeongnanggong Branch of Hamyang Bak’s Clan and is currently kept at Misan Historic House. Besides Naam surok, there are various books such as Dang si gochwi, Dang jo chaengnim, Manguk jeondo, Jeosang irwol, Tonggam, and Jeosang iryong. Dang si gochwi is composed of four volumes and was printed with woodblocks in the early Joseon Period, whereas Dang jo chaengnim contains 75 official documents of the Tang Dynasty. Tonggam is made up of 18 volumes and 3 books and was printed with wooden types in the early Joseon Period. Manguk jeondo is a world atlas painted by Bak Yeon-seol in 1661 (second year of the reign of King Hyeonjong of the Joseon Dynasty). The seas and lands are painted in different colors, and the book measures 133 cm wide and 71.5 cm long. Jeosang irwol is a kind of diary; the 20 books of Jeosang iryong contain records of the income and spending of a family for 140 years over 6 generations.
