The Korea Letters and Manuscripts of the Griffis Collection is a digital companion to the book, Korea Letters in the William Elliot Griffis Collection: An Annotated Selection (2024). It completes the publication of the Korea documents by including material here that was omitted from the book project. The collection includes many significant letters, documents, and unpublished manuscripts pertaining to Korean history of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, most significantly the Korean independence movement.
The digitization, transcription, and annotation of the Korea documents was funded by a grant from the Overseas Korean Cultural Heritage Foundation, Seoul, Korea.
