Abstract

Many researchers and librarians in library and information science area in Korea and Japan claim that Japanese Hongdohoe Library is the first modern public library in Korea. The results of analysis of the study reveal that the claim should be reconsidered because of the following reasons. Firstly, Hongdohoe Library was established in Korea but was established by Japanese. Secondly, the library was established for Japanese in Busan and operated for a long time for the use of Japanese people in Busan. Thirdly, most of the collection of the library were revealed as Japanese materials. Fourthly, the Japanese Hongdohoe which established the library was the organization that supported Japanese militarism before and during the Japanese occupation of Korea.

우리나라와 일본의 많은 문헌정보학 연구자와 사서들은 일본홍도회도서실을 한국 공공도서관의 시초라고 주장하고 있다. 본 연구는 일본홍도회도서실의 건립과 운영을 정치 사회적인 관점에서 재검토 및 재분석하는 데 그 목적이 있다. 조사 분석 결과에 의거하여 일본홍도회도서실을 우리나라 공공도서관의 시초로 삼는 것은 다음과 같은 이유에서 재논의 되어야 한다고 주장한다. 첫째, 일본홍도회도서실은 우리나라에 건립되었지만 일본인들에 의해 건립되었다. 둘째, 도서실은 일본인들을 위해 건립되었고, 오랫동안 그렇게 운영되었다. 셋째, 장서의 대부문은 일서였던 것으로 사료된다. 넷째, 부산에 도서실을 건립한 일본홍도회는 일제강점기 전과 그 기간 동안 일본의 군국주의를 지지하는 단체인 것으로 사료된다.
