Abstract
Studies were conducted on manufacturing techniques by applying microscopy and conservation treatments on the annals of Joseon dynasty storage box at the National Museum of Korea. The results revealed that lime tree wood(Tilla spp.) was used to make the annals of Joseon dynasty storage box. Lacquering techniques were used to coat the box with a layer of lacquer and bone ash and then cover it with traditional Korean paper. After being covered with traditional Korean paper, more layers were applied in the following sequence: mud ashes, black lacquer, pure lacquer, and black lacquer. Before conservation treatments, some components and lacquer layers were missing in addition wood joint were loose. Therefore, conservation and restoration should be conducted based on the identified wood and by observing the shape of the remaining components.
