This document lists the members of the Songgye, a mutual assistance society, and contains the rules of its operation. The society was established by the Kim, An, and U families in a village that had established family graveyards on Namsan Mountain during the late Joseon Period, in order to protect the graveyards and prevent people from cutting down pine trees without permission.
