Abstract
This study examines the possibility of applying various recordkeeping methods through a platform built in 2019 by the National Archives of Korea. In particular, it aims to develop a way to track and store transactions using blockchain and to design and present the method of records management automation using smart contracts. In this regard, a literature review, a system analysis of CAMS and MAM, interviews with the experts, designing, implementation, and the development of the system's proof of concept were performed. These efforts resulted in the proposal of an archives and records management strategy utilizing blockchain, which guarantees transparency and accountability by preserving an audit trail on recordkeeping activities.
