Overview
From Paula Curtis Collection[1]: The National Debt Redemption Movement is an economic sovereignty protection movement initiated by the Korean people in order to repay a predatory loan enforced by Japan.
There are 2,475 items in the National Debt Redemption Movement collection, which the National Debt Redemption Movement Memorial Association has applied to have registered in the UNESCO Memory of the World.
This collection is composed of four types of collections: handwritten records on the origination and development of the National Debt Redemption Movement, handwritten records on the expansion and spread of the National Debt Redemption Movement, records on the National Debt Redemption Movement by the Japanese government (Residency-General and the Japanese Governor-General of Korea), and the press records of newspapers and magazines that reported on the National Debt Redemption Movement state of affairs.
