This paper examines the meaning, content, and contribution of The Korean Repository, focusing on the 1892 publications. The Korean Repository, the first English-language magazine, published by foreign missionaries in Korea. The Korean Repository began publication in 1892 and was issued monthly for five years from 1895 to 1898, after a period of rest in 1893 and 1894. It is easy to think that the journal has the character of a professional missionary because it was published by missionaries, but it is actually called a treasure of Korean studies because it deals with a wide variety of fields such as politics, economy, society, culture, language, customs, history, education, and trips in Korea.
