Taehan kyenyŏnsa is a history of Korea during the late Joseon and Korean Empire periods. It covers the years 1864 to 1910, and consists of 9 volumes. It was penned by a minor government official and member of the Korean enlightenment movement, Jeong Gyo (鄭喬 1856–1925), about whom little is known. The books is chronologically ordered and much of the historical content is based upon Jeong's own experiences and eye-witness accounts, yielding up rich historical detail and anecdote not available elsewhere. It is particularly useful in its details of Korea's Independence Club.[1]

It is currently stored in the library of Seoul National University.
