Good research thrives on high-quality data. One of the main activities we focus on is to gather data (mostly, textual) from various repositories across the world, including the U.S., Russia, and South Korea.

In June 2023, the THEN Lab's affiliated research assistant Donghyeok Choi (CT KAIST) organized literally every entry of the Korean-translated Annals of Joseon Dynasty (the Veritable Records of the Joseon Dynasty) in a single CSV file, for those interested.

From June to November 2023, the Lab collected more than 20,000 pages of data related to South Korea's nuclear waste history from the National Archives of Korea. As of May 2024, the Lab's affiliated research assistants Seulgi Lee (STP KAIST) and Hyun Ah Keum (STP KAIST) are finalizing their scanning works.

In February 2024, Dr. Donghyeok Choi made one of Donghyun's long overdue data acquisition dreams come true. Thank you so much, Dr. Choi! 

In May 2024, the Lab's affiliated research assistants Seulgi Lee, Hyun Ah Keum, Seulgi Lee, and Hyeonbin Park (all STP KAIST) presented stuckyi to me in commemoration of Teacher's Day. Thank you very much!

The THEN Lab aims to innovate data preservation and preprocessing strategies, to create novel models of data compilation.

The THEN Lab aims to diversify scholarly modes of analysis and visualization, which can be applied to not only humanities data, but also data in general.
