This study has analyzed the Seonwonboryak-sujeong-uigue(璿源譜略修正儀軌, the records about the revision of royal genealogy) of King Yeongjo's reign to examine the bookbinder and bookbinding of royal palace in the late Joseon period. In Korean physical bibliography, the study on bookbinding is still recognized as a specific area, thus the outcome of the study on bookbinder does not exist at all. This study, having a critical mind on those issues, has focused on the Sunwonboryak-sujeong-uigue(璿源譜略修正儀軌) which is the record about the revision of King Yeongjo's reign Seonwongyebogiryak(璿源係譜記略, the royal genealogy), and so analyzed the positional organization and activity of bookbinder, bookbinding instruments and necessary goods. The bookbinder of royal palace in the late Choseon dynasty, being bookbinding-personnel belonged to Gyoseoguan's japjik, had worked as an expert when the royal books were get published. They had received low wages and treatments compared to their specialty and importance they had in the role of the preservation of royal books. This study has a significance on the grounds that it gave attention to bookbinders, newly highlighted them, and proposed a model for the bookbinding of royal books through the research on the bookbinding process of Soenwongyebogiryak(璿源係譜記略).
