Nate 한국학

한국향토문화전자대전: 조선시대에는 국가주도하에 전국 규모의 향토문화 편찬사업 실시. - 세종실록지리지(1454), 신증동국여지승람(1531), 여지도서(1757) 등 향토문화 집대성 작업이 주기적으로 이루어짐. ◇ 1980년~1991년 한국정신문화연구원(현 한국학중앙연구원) 주관으로『한국민족문화대백과사전』편찬을 국책사업으로 추진. 18세기 후반 이후 맥이 끊겼던, 대규모 민족문화 집대성 사업으로서, 중앙 중심적 시각에서 이루어짐. 이 성과를 바탕으로, 급속히 소멸되어 가는 향토문화자료의 보존·계승을 위해 향토문화 자료의 발굴, 수집, 연구 분석을 통한 문화콘텐츠 산업 기반 마련 및 주체적으로 21세기 문화시대에 대비, 문화콘텐츠 산업의 중간재로 활용할 수 있도록 집대성.
