-Sejong Sillok Jirijie (1454)
It says that "Dokdo Island and Uleungdo Island are at the east sea of Uljin-hyun. These two islands are not far from each other, and visible to the naked eye." It was scientifically proved that Dokdo Island is visible from Uleungdo Island. (It is not visible from Oki Island of Japan to the naked eye.)



-Joseon Gukkyo Simalnaetamseo (1870년)
Right after the Meiji Restoration, MOFA and the Home Ministry of Japan gave a direction to investigate 'the reason why Uleungdo Island and Dokdo Island belong to Joseon territory' when they investigated Joseonn in December 1869.
Shimane of Japan asked the Home Office whether these two islands would be included to the map and the property check in 1876 and the Home Office reached a conclusion that "this issue was concluded in 1699 and Uleungdo Island and Dokdo Island are Joseon territory and Japan doesn't have to care for them" and decided to exclude them from the Japanese map and the property check.
