This thesis examines the Deposit List of the Central Police Bureau, published by the Police Bureau of the Joseon Government during the Japanese colonial period, with the aim of exploring its background and publication context and analyzing the characteristics of the deposited records, including 6,053 records from 95 issues. In results, the subjects most frequently represented were Language and Literature, and Education and Society, whereas Science and Medicine, Engineering and Military were the least. Publisher types varied by subject, with the Joseon Government appearing most frequently. Geographically, publications were concentrated in Gyeongseong (Seoul) and major cities, including Daegu, Busan, Gwangju and Jeonju. Most publications were priced below two won, with some were non-commercial. Five wartime trends were identified: an increase in Japanese language education materials, a decline in genealogical publications, the spatial expansion of maps, shifts in textbook and legal publications, and a rise in war-related literature and biographies. Although there was a difference in overall scale, both Language and Literature and History and Geography showed declining trends consistent with patterns observed in contemporary Japanese deposit statistics, reflecting the reduced importance under wartime. Through this study, it was possible to identity how the deposits were organized and transformed in colonial period.
