From the Goryeo Dynasty, Chunchukwan and Yemunkwan were established to record all the kings' daily administrative affairs by sakwans (those who wrote these historic affairs). The kings let them publish all the affairs that happened during the previous reign, and called it sillok. This sillok was kept in a specially established place called 'sago'. The Taejo (the first king of Joseon dynasty) sillok, comprising 15 volumes, was the first sillok, which was published for 4 years beginning in 1409, or the 9th year to 13th year of the reign of King Taejong. The Jeongjong sillok comprising 6 volumes, was published in 1431, or the 13th year of the reign of King Sejong. Since then two copies of the Taejo, Jeongjong, and Taejong silloks were published, and one copy was placed in Chunchukwan in Seoul and the other copy was placed in Chungju sago. Worried that two copies of silloks was not enough to keep the important history, an extra two copies were printed in 1445, or the 27th year of the reign of King Sejong and kept in the Jeonju and Seonju sago, which were newly creative archives each designed to preserve each copy respectively. During the Japanese invasion in 1592, or the 25th year of the reign of King Seonjo, three silloks in Chunchukwan, Chungju and Seongju were lost, and only the Jeonju sillok escaped from a fire. That was mainly thanks to Song Hong-rok and Ahn Ui who transferred the sillok to Yongguram grotto located in Mt. Naejang. Details preserved in the Jeonju sago are as follows: sillok - 784 volumes, 614 books and 47 boxes: another collection of 64 kinds, 556 books and 15 boxes. A sillok room destroyed during the Jeongu Jaeran war in 1597, was restored in 1991, and The Annals of the Choson Dynasty (National Treasure 151) was registered as the UNESCO World Record Culture Heritage in 1997.
