Abstract

Historiography of Colonialism, whose invasiveness have been highlighted, is simultaneously defined in two factors: One is Japan’s invasion to the continent. The other is the establishment and spread of modern historiography of Japan. In particular, academic organizations which was established by Japan in Joseon such like Keijo Imperial University(京城帝國大學), Society of Joseon History Compilation(朝鮮史編修會) and Cheonggu Association(靑丘學會), submitted their achievements in the 1930s. These, as well as continental invasions, were driving changes in historiography of colonialism. Therefore, in order to understand historiography of colonialism, it is necessary to consider its invasiveness and character as modern historiography at the same time. History of North Pyongan Province(『平安北道史』) commissioned and compiled by the North Pyongan Province Office(平安北道廳) to Inaba Iwakichi(稻葉岩吉) in 1938, is a booklet that intersects Japan’s invasion to the continent, History of Manchuria-Joseon(滿鮮史) which is one of the main discourses of historiography of colonialism, and academic institutions which is necessary for maintenance and spread of modern historiography. History of North Pyongan Province was a history book that summarized the history of North Pyongan Province in relation to the continent, and this historical story was supported by Joseon History compilated by Society of Joseon History Compilation in historical materials. In this sense, it can be seen that as the historical description of historiography of colonialism fortifies its attributes as modern historiography, North Pyongan Province has degenerated into a local history that fades without considering the continent.
