Abstract
This study aims to analyze how the concept of legal evidence has influenced the principles of records management and investigate its meaning and limitations from the perspective of archives. To this end, it outlined how the methodologies of judging the trustworthiness of records as evidence have changed from Roman Law to modern legislation. In addition, the archival meaning of the historical development was analyzed in the following aspects; i) What was the main framework applied to judge the trustworthiness of records? ii) What characteristics did they think records as legal evidence should have? iii) What types of records were the main management targets, and how did they recognize the relationship between records and reality? Based on these analyses, the meaning and limitations of the records management that values legal evidence were presented.
