[Project] Comprehensive Plan for Overseas Materials and Content Use for the Paju DMZ and Border Region, 2019 [Paju City]

Project period: June 14, 2019 - January 23, 2020.

Overview: In order to reinterpret the Cold War heritage of the Paju DMZ and borderlands as post-division and peace heritage, this project broadly collected overseas source materials on the region and proposed models for archival construction, storytelling, exhibitions, and other forms of content production based on those records.

Details: Collected Paju-related records from NARA II, including 200 sets of documents (23 series, 82 boxes, 10,751 pages), 500 photographs (4 series, 64 boxes), and 70 film reels (5 series), then cataloged and annotated them / developed an example exhibition titled “Modern Paju Emerges from the Border Landscape” organized around five major themes: infrastructure, Panmunjom and the DMZ, military bases, camps, and villages / proposed a digital-archive model that combines overseas materials, existing domestic sources, and local oral histories, together with an expanded operating vision informed by the GLAM framework.
