From the places of publish, the people therein and lives thereof also can be detected. This paper tried to examine the publishing places of wooden printing block in the Late Joseon and the people therein. Based on the publish records carved or written on the wooden printing blocks possessed by Korean Studies Advancement Center, this paper classified the official publishing places of wooden printing block into local government office, Confucianist auditorium, village school and private family house, and checked out whether the official publishing places and real publishing places were same or not. Through the publish cases of 18th and 19th Century confirmed by above check, the figure and conditions of publishing places could be examined. The publishing of wooden printing blocks were done in the places where the geographical position and other conditions were very good to procure the personal and material resources. The working and residential space for manpower were also essential for the publishing. In addition, the distances to the main agent of publishing was close enough for smooth communication.
