[KS] Dictionary or glossary for Choson era terms

[Javier Cha]

Dear Su-kyoung,

The AKS maintains a searchable glossary of key terms along with
possible English translations of those terms. The English translations
are drawn from major English-language scholarly monographs in Korean
studies. Your student can also click on each entry and see the context
in which the translation appears.

Hope this helps.
