Korea Times Digital Archive

Coming Soon!

Explore the rich history of the Korean American community through The Korea Times Digital Archive. Starting out as the Los Angeles bureau of the Seoul-based Hankook Ilbo in 1969, The Korea Times established itself as the leading voice for the Korean diaspora in the 1970s—and has maintained the largest circulation of all Korean-language newspapers in the US ever since.

This archive offers a unique glimpse into key moments in Korean American history, including immigration following the Hart-Cellar Act (1965-), boycotts of Korean-owned businesses (1979), the exoneration of Chol Soo Lee (1983), and the Los Angeles Riots (1992).

The Korea Times continues to serve as an invaluable news source for the Korean diaspora and maintains bureaus across the United States. The Korea Times Digital Archive is the definitive Korean-language newspaper source for scholars interested in the history of Korean immigration to the United States, as well as the current and future history of Korean Americans.

Please contact us for more information. Trial access will be available in March 2025.
