The Later Baekje Dynasty (892-936) was caught in the period of transition from the Unified Silla Dynasty to the Goryeo Dynasty, and only lasted a short time. As such, a lack of relevant materials makes it very difficult to determine the characteristics of Buddhist arts of the period. This study examined - on the basis of earlier studies - the Buddhist artworks made in the capital and provinces of the dynasty, their regional characteristics and variations, and the classes of people who made them. It also discussed their impact on the subsequent early Goryeo Period (918-1392). Even though the Later Baekje Dynasty only lasted a short time, people from all social strata regardless of where they lived, including the royal family, nobility, and commoners, created Buddhist artworks for diverse purposes. These works of art generally look quite similar to those made during the preceding Unified Silla Period (676-935), and is probably due to the fact that people looked back at the Silla Dynasty culture wistfully, although they display slight differences depending on the prayers in each stratum. Thus, the Later Baekje Dynasty expressed its desire to inherit and preserve aspects of the Baekje Dynasty by incorporating elements associated with Baekje into Buddhist artworks and monumental pieces made for the royal family. The people of the Later Baekje Dynasty must have felt a need to follow in the footsteps of Baekje Dynasty and show their group identity in Buddhist artworks, which had a great impact on the early Goryeo Period, resulting in stone pagodas and Buddha statues reminiscent of those of the Baekje Period. These Buddhist artworks of the early Goryeo Period were largely concentrated in what used to be the royal capitals, major towns, and provincial temples of Baekje Dynasty where people could see distinguished Buddhist artworks.
본 학회는 "역사학의 발전과 민족문화의 창달에 이바지한다"는 목표하에 도내의 역사학자들을 주축으로 1976년에 창립된 이래 30년 이상의 연륜을 이어온 정통 역사학회이다. 수차례의 학술대회를 개최하였을 뿐 아니라, 학술지 '전북사학'을 30호까지 발간하면서 지역 사학 발전의 토대를 놓았다는 평가를 받고 있다. 본 학회는 현재 약 240여명의 회원을 두고 있으며, 격월로 임원회의와 월례발표회를 개최하고 있다. 매 발표회에 실제로 참여하는 인원이 항상 30명이 넘는다. 대부분의 역사관련 학회가 주로 대학교수나 강사들로 구성되어 있는 데 비해 전북사학회는 대학교수, 강사는 물론 학예사, 연구원, 중등학교 역사담당교사 등 역사와 관련된 다양한 구성원들로 이루어져 있다는 장점을 지니고 있다. 대학에서 연구한 역사학에 관한 이론을 중등학교 교육 현장에 올바로 적용하여 이론과 실제를 하나로 만들려는 것이 향후 전북사학회의 지향점이다.
