AB - Rare maps and atlases were mainly the subject of study in geography, but they are being extended to other fields in 21st century since they contain various information. With this trend the need to complete a research on the history of Korean rare maps and atlases scattered in several countries including USA and Japan is rising. This paper reviews rare Korean maps and atlases preserved in the Geography and Map Division of the Library of Congress. The division having excellent collection of Korean maps houses approximately 46 Korean manuscript and woodblock print maps with the physical types like scrolls, binding, and folding fans. These are primary resource for understanding and researching the history of Korean cartography at the Library of Congress. We not only could see the trend appeared in the old maps being preserved in Korea but found that there still exist rare and unique maps by reviewing the Korean maps in the Library of Congress through typology and cladistic analysis. The trend of the maps and the results of this study are worth acquiring new research objects as well as broaden our understanding on history of Korean maps.
