Abstract

In this study, document administrations in the process of central and local government seal amendment were reviewed in late Joseon dynasty focusing on registry of government seal possessed by Kyujanggak Academy of Korean Studies. Registry of government seal are the documents to report from Yejo to the king when the seal was amended and registered data with newly amended seal. The amendment process was performed after reporting Gyemok from Yejo to the king, upon request from the related Amoon or Chupjung to Yejo by Gwan. However, the rule to confirm the amended seal was strengthened by the order of Jungjo in 1797 (Jungjo Year 21). Once the government seal was amended, newly amended seal was used after sending Gyemok recorded with Inmoon afterwards from Yejo. This change affected the methods of writing registry of government seal, and Gyemok with amendment of government seal and sealed papers with Inmoon were included together since 1797. Amendment of government seal was requested to Yejo through Chupjung or Gwan in central Amoon while the amended Inmoon was reported through Gyemok to the king from Yejo. Governors and Jeoldosa of Navy in local Amoon requested to amend the government seal through Gwan and Chupjung, respectively. Local mayors and officers requested to amend the government seal through Chupjung to related Gwanchalsa, and he or she sent Gwan to Yejo that covered Chupjung requesting amendment of the seal. Document administration system between central and local Amoon in late Joseon followed the rules of Yongmoon jashik in Gyeongguk Daejeon, upon reviewing amendment of government seal.
