These include previously unavailable runs of the <i>Nodong sinmun</i> through the late 1940s, provincial newspapers, and a myriad of other publications. Because these materials were gathered up during the UN occupation of the North, they begin in 1945 and terminate in early 1951. But the first six months of the war are well covered in a variety of newspapers in this collection.<div><div><div apple-content-edited="true"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></span></div><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; ">Bruce Cumings</div></span> </div><br><div><div>On Nov 13, 2009, at 12:00 PM, <a href="mailto:koreanstudies-request@koreaweb.ws">koreanstudies-request@koreaweb.ws</a> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div>Send Koreanstudies mailing list submissions to<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><a href="mailto:koreanstudies@koreaweb.ws">koreanstudies@koreaweb.ws</a><br><br>To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>http://koreaweb.ws/mailman/listinfo/koreanstudies_koreaweb.ws<br>or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>koreanstudies-request@koreaweb.ws<br><br>You can reach the person managing the list at<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>koreanstudies-owner@koreaweb.ws<br><br>When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific<br>than "Re: Contents of Koreanstudies digest..."<br><br><br><<------------ KoreanStudies mailing list DIGEST ------------>><br><br><br>Today's Topics:<br><br> 1.
