[KS] Photos of Yanghwajin Foreigners Cemetery and Foreigners MuseumProject

[Stefan Ewing]

Dear K-Flexx and other list members:

Perhaps you've already seen this, but you may wish to look through the 
online versions of the books _Sajineuro Boneun Seoul_/_Sajinu^ro Ponu^n 
So^ul_ (_Seoul Seen through Photographs_), Volumes 1 and 2, published by 
Seoul Metropolitan Government in 2002.  (There's also a Volume 3, but it 
covers the post-1945 era.)

I don't know specifically if there are any photos of Yanghwajin Foreigners 
Cemetery, but I have found, for example, numerous photos that I havn't seen 
anywhere else of the old streetcars in Seoul, something of particular 
personal interest to me.

Here are the links:
Volume 1: 
http://www.seoul.go.kr/life/life/culture/history_book/picture_seoul1/index.html
Volume 2: 
http://www.seoul.go.kr/life/life/culture/history_book/picture_seoul2/index.html
Volume 3: 
http://www.seoul.go.kr/life/life/culture/history_book/picture_seoul3/index.html

With kind regards,
Stefan Ewing

>Dear all

>Mapo-gu is in the process of cleaning and sprucing up
>Yanghwajin foreigners' cemetery. There is talk of also
>opening a permanent museum for artefacts and photos
>related to the lives of foreigners in Korea over the
>centuries.
>
>What I am helping to look for at the moment is any
>photos showing the cemetery (either as the main focus
>or in the background) pre-World War Two. Does anyone
>have access to any, or know who might?
>
>Also, to those who live in Korea, we are trying to get
>an informal meeting once a month for any and all who
>are interested in this project. In particular
>long-termers and old-timers are welcome (and needed!)
>because their input will help shape what this thing
>becomes.

>There is still  much to be decided, but a team from
>Hongik University has already won the contract from
>Mapo-gu, and some prominent people are involved (Dr
>Donald Clark being one of them). So this is a
>legitimate deal, and I hope it turns into something
>that can be more than a tourist attraction, but
>something actually of value historically.

>Any and all replies are welcome.
