The Korean National Committee of Historical Sciences was founded in 1970 as non-profit, non-governmental organization to represent all Korean historians in order to promote international historical understanding through scholarly accomplishments. Its main undertaking is to contribute to the development of historical disciplines and intellectual cooperation through an extensive exchange of scholarship. It emphatically urges every Korean historian to participate not only in any intellectual activities on the international level, but also in the International Congress of Historical Sciences sponsored every five year by the CISH (Le Comité International des Sciences historiques).

  The Korean National Committee at all times welcome any attempt to strengthen cooperative ties among professional historians in every field to promote historical research and intellectual activities, regardless of divergent perceptions and conflicting outlook in history.
