The Burke Library at Union Theological Seminary is pleased to announce the launch of the new online exhibition Korean Independence Outbreak Movement.

The exhibition documents The Records of the Korean Independence Outbreak, a collection in the Mission Research Library archives at The Burke Library. The Records were sent from Shanghai to Charles Fahs, the librarian of the former Mission Research Library in New York, by Korean Independence leaders in exile during 1919. They include typescript reports describing events in March/April 1919 and are accompanied by a pamphlet with rare black and white photographs illustrating the events.
