Abstract

This study explores the transfer of defunct school records (by preservation period, type, and place of transfer) in South Korea since the Public Records Management Act was enacted in 1999 and suggests improvements. Metropolitan and provincial offices of education, totaling 17, were asked to disclose information about the status of defunct school records. Since 1999, 1,411 schools nationwide have closed permanently, predominantly elementary schools, followed by high then middle schools. By preservation period, there were more records in the 1 to 10-year category than in the 30-year to permanent category. By record type, most were electronic records, followed by paper records, archival objects, and audiovisual records. By place of transfer, most nonelectronic records were transferred to integrated schools, and most electronic records were transferred to the Records Management System. In-depth interviews with 10 record managers from local education offices found that the management of defunct school records varies widely by region and institution because of the lack of specified manuals. Participants also reported difficulties in transferring web-based records, archival objects, and audiovisual records, as well as insufficient archival space and computer systems. This study also provides suggestions to improve the management of defunct school records, such as establishing specified manuals, creating a dedicated government department for managing defunct school records, deploying workforces, and improving computer systems.

이 연구는 공공기록물 관리에 관한 법률이 제정된 1999년 이후 전국의 폐교(초·중·고)기록물 이관현황(보존기간, 유형별, 이관장소)을 분석하여 문제점을 파악하고 개선방안을 제안한 연구이다. 17개 시·도 교육청을 대상으로 한 정보공개 청구 결과, 1999년 이후 전국의 폐지학교는 총 1,411개로, 초등학교, 고등학교, 중학교 순으로 집계되었고, 보존기간별로는 1년-10년 기간의 기록물이 30년-영구 기간의 기록물보다 수량이 많았다. 유형별로는 전자기록물, 종이기록물, 행정박물, 시청각기록물 순으로 집계되었고 비전자기록물 대부분은 통합학교로 이관되고 전자기록물은 표준기록관리시스템(RMS)으로 이관되었음을 확인하였다. 지역 교육(지원)청 소속의 기록연구사 총 10명을 대상으로 반구조화된 심층면담을 실시한 결과, 폐교기록물 관리 지침 부재로 인해 체계적인 이관과 관리가 이루어지지 않으며 지역별 기관별 편차가 크다는 점, 웹기록물, 행정박물, 시청각기록물 이관의 어려움이 크고, 물리적 시스템적 이관 장소의 문제가 존재함을 확인하였다. 이상을 종합하여 폐교기록물 관리 지침의 제정, 전담부서 신설 및 인력 배치, 전산시스템 개선을 향후 폐교기록물 이관 및 관리 개선방안으로 제시하였다.
