In 1980's the Korean government and scholars surveyed Korean cultural assets. One of their finding was that Korean objects exists some countries.

Today museum professional designing their exhibited and collections try to both enlighten experts and instruct and please amateur enthusiasts. Exhibitions are one of the most effective means of stimulating interest in cultural objects and ideas : they reflect prevailing cultural , intellectural and political trends. The 1893 Chicageo Exposition was the first international exhibition in which Korea has ever taken part. Overseas museum held many Asian exhibitions however Korean exhibitions have been held much less frequently than those of most other Asian countries. (China, and Japan). Some of Korean art Collection have historical and artistic valuable , most overseas museum' collection are of low value and non-informative .

Interest in Korean cultural properties has rising in recent years, not only on the part of existing researcher and scholars but also among the general public. The scope of interest has expand also, no longer being confined to Korea, and has given rise to movements for redemption of cultural properties preserved overseas and plans on how to make use of information about them. Aside from the basic idea that all cultural properties overseas are subjects for redemption, this paper argues that it is time to seek ways to actively make use of information on those cultural properties, and that this must be preceded by dear understanding of the current status through systematic on-site research and investigation of the channels through which they left the country. In addition, it is necessary to look at the issue with a broader perspective. The cultural properties in question must be regarded not as the sole property of Korea, the country that produced them, but as artworks of the world with outstanding universal value, to be protected and utilized by all human beings. From this point of view, this paper organize studies the kinds of Korean cultural properties kept at three major museums in the United Stated, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Roston, and traces the routes and methods by which they were taken out of Korea. Based on the perception of Korean artworks overseas as explained above, the purpose of this paper is to examine materials those cultural properties not only for academic research, but also todistinguish between those properties that should be redeemed and those that should be publicized overseas by clarifying how they were taken overseas, and thus provide basic materials for policy purposes.

Due to the challenging physical access of data and the abstraction of the old map, the study of the old map, which is owned by overseas collections, is limited. Therefore, it is necessary to include more detailed and professional characteristics in the bibliography or description elements, and to provide information that is helpful for the study of the old map through many ways. In this study, the elements of the old map based upon the system of the Haejushinbon were analyzed and added to the description elements of the old map for studying the Korean old map system. Fifty six description elements in 8 areas from the analysis were applied to 「Yeongyeondo」 in the French National Library, a major old map located overseas that was not well known in Korea. In conclusion, additional description elements of the old map were proposed to enhance accessibility and utilization of old map research.
