Yonsei University Museum collected historic relics in Yongjaegwan, a building in Sinchon campus that has been undergoing deconstruction as part of a new building for the School of Business. Established in 1957, Yongjaegwan secured important documents in a copper box that was placed in the foundation stone. On November 10th, the stone was detached from the building, and all the documents in the copper box were gathered, including The Bible (1952), The Hymns (1954), Yonsei University Donations (1957), Yonhi college Policy (1957), Student Listings (1957), Alumni Listings (1957), Yonhi-dong Dry Green (1954), and an English version of the Yonsei Annual report (1956-57). Other documents are the floor plan and elevation plan, as well as the faculty list from Peabody College in the United States who were dispatched to Yonsei in order to support the Department of Library Science and Library School. The University Museum also gathered the tablets of Education and Science College and of Dr. Yongjae Baek Nak-jun Memorial Hall. The roof truss, which shows the architecture style of the 1950s, is planned to be conserved along with other parts of the building such as the stone steps near the building that were constructed by alumni funding.
