This study shows the relationship between the Korean traditional rituals and their communities and how the communities perceive the dances in the rituals through the analysis of the event pamphlets. This research chooses three representative rituals such as Gangneung Danoje, Yeongsanjae, and Jongmyo Jerye. Although pamphlets seem to be small, they are a important value as archive material to show the vivid contemporary information. This study used Robert E. Stake's instrumental case study. An analysis of the pamphlets of the three ritual events shows the relationships between the organizers and the events. This may allows us to guess how the organizers aware the importance of the dances. This research points the importance of archiving not only for the next generations but also for us.
