[KS] Introducing Chocassye, a Searchable Database of Historical Korean-Language Texts

[Kwoy Chom]

Dear All,

I would like to introduce Chocassye (find.됬.xyz
<https://find.xn--gt1b.xyz/search>), a freely accessible online database of
historical Korean-language texts currently comprising around 1,000 works in
Middle Korean, Early Modern Korean, and early interpretative gugyeol
(kwukyel), made possible thanks to decades of digitization work by many
researchers.

The DB supports rapid full-text search across this corpus. Queries can be
entered in Old Hangul, romanization, or a combination of both, fully
supporting obsolete letters such as ㅿ, ㆁ, ㆆ, ㅸ, and ㆍ. For more targeted
research, the interface also supports wildcard characters and regular
expressions.

Results are displayed alongside a timeline histogram spanning 1400 to 1950,
which gives an at-a-glance picture of a form's distribution across time.
You can also access the full digitized texts directly from the search
results, and scanned images are also available for some texts.

Chocassye is available at:
https://find.xn--gt1b.xyz/search

If you know of colleagues, students, or collaborators who work with
pre-modern Korean materials -- whether in linguistics, history, literature,
or related fields -- I would be grateful if you could pass this along to
them as well.

Best regards,
Geon Park
