Annals of the Joseon Dynasty
The "Veritable Records of the Joseon Dynasty" (also known as the "Annals of the Joseon Dynasty") are the annual records of the Joseon Dynasty, which were kept from 1413 to 1865. The annals, or "sillok", comprise 1,893 volumes and are thought to cover the longest continual period of a single dynasty in the world. With the exception of two "sillok" compiled during the colonial era, the "Annals" are the 151st national treasure of Korea and listed in UNESCO's Memory of the World registry.
