The Korean Library of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic was founded in 1958. In that year, the Oriental Institute received as a gift several hundred books and periodicals from the Academy of Sciences of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Most of these books were published in the 1950s, especially after the Korean War. Similar specimens can be found in other post-communist countries in Europe, which also maintained relations only with North Korea at the time. In 1996 and 1997, its collections were considerably enriched by South Korean publications, thanks to generous gifts made by the Korean Foundation. See all items with this value
