Kyujang-gak was an institution established by the King Jungjo's order to enshrine and edit the royal writings and autographs, and to help the revival of learning with more active services in collection, control, and use of the important materials. Furthermore, it was aimed in its establishment to promote the settlement of an innovative and ideal Royal Regime. In this paper, the Outer Kyujang-gak(外奎章閣) of Kangwha Magistracy(江華府), which was one of the lower branches of the Kyujanggak(奎章閣), will be treated, especially about its details of establishment, location, functions, the characteristics and value of its collection. After the Japanese invasion of Korea in 1592, the Historical Deposit Library(史庫) was established at the Kangwha Magistracy to take custody of the royal writings and autographs. An Annex(別庫) was built near by the Historical Deposit Library to enlarge the space in the reign of the King Hyojong. These spaces, however, become insufficient as the amount of materials deposited expanded, and custody for them was also not successful. Therefore, at the April of the 6th year of the King Jungjo's rule, the Outer Kyujang-gak was built at the east of the Temporary Palace(行宮) within Kangwha Magistracy, where the royal materials were deposited. This Outer Kynjang-gak was also called 'Kangdo Oe-gak(江都外閣)', 'Kyujang Oe-gak(奎章外閣)' or 'Simdo Oe-gak(心都外閣)', and its major function was to take custody of the materials and to hand them down to the next generations forever. The Kandwha Magistrate(江華留守) was responsible for the management of the Outer Kyujang-gak. Regular events for the book keeping were enshrinement, inventory and airing. In the 6th year in the reign of the King Jungjo, 4,892 volumes consisting of 762 titles were moved here from the Bon-gmodang(奉謨堂), the Seoseo(西序) in Main Palace, the Annex(別庫), the Deposit Library(史庫) mentioned above, the Kaegsa(客舍) and Chaeg-go(冊庫) within Kangwha Magistracy. By the end of the Joseon Dynasty, through fourteen times of addition altogether, the number of collection enshrined here reached 6,400 volumes consisting of 1,212 titles. The significance of this Outer Kyujang-gak established at the Kangwha Magistracy is in the point that this was one of the most important deopsit libraries of the Joseon Dynasty.

광복 후 우리나라 도서관계는 장서의 확충에만 급급하였다. 결과로 20세기 말에 들어와서는 서적을 보존할 공간이 협소하게 되었다. 장서 보존에 있어 중요한 요소의 하나는 자료를 수장할 공간이다. 따라서 도서관계의 중대한 관심사의 하나는 공간문제를 해결하기 위한 보존도서관을 마련하는 것이다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 여러 차원의 보존도서관을 설립해야 하는데, 보존이란 '보존' '보호', '복원'의 개념으로 나누어 정의되고 있다. 열람이 주목적이 아닌 자료를 보존하기 위한 도서관은 우리나라에서는 이미 고려시대부터 비롯되었고, 조선시대에는 외사고와 규장각의 규장외각에 계승되었다. 본고는 조선 정조년간에 설치된 규장외각의 설치, 보존도서관으로서 문헌의 '보존', '보호', '복원' 활동에 관해 분석한 것이다.
