This study examines the current status of national & public university archives management, focusing on Busan and Gyeongnam area. Because national public universities create public records, they must compulsorily execute the law, Public Records and Archives Act. However revised Public Records and Archives Act isn't reflected the peculiarity of university archives and the national and public universities are to be transferred to government archive. The records and archives of universities had better be preserved in universities themselves in order to use university member and other users. This paper points out the problem of university archives management and finalizes with some suggestions for national public university archives related to the systematic and efficient archives management.

The study aims to explore the alternatives through case analysis in the UK, which is quickly responding with appraisal policies and guidelines appropriate to the digital age. Through a theoretical study, it was confirmed that the concept of appraisal in the digital age was extended to decisions on which records to be created and acquired, and in this context, that the value of records needed to be determined at the earliest point in their life cycle. Furthermore, the advantages of macro-appraisal methods and the inevitability of expanding appraisal groups were outlined. Based on this discussion, the change in the British public record appraisal policy was discussed from a policy perspective, and the current British public record appraisal system was analyzed. Based on the analysis of various policy statements and guidelines, general appraisal criteria, 60 operation selection policies and appraisal processes were discussed. As a conclusion, this study discusses various alternatives to appraisal policies in the digital age.

The focus of this paper lies on the fact that the 'management' and 'utilization' of audiovisual archives are still not specialized in both the public and the private sectors. The use of online video platforms including 'YouTube' has became common. Accordingly the production and collection of high-definition and high-capacity audiovisual archives has been rapidly increasing. However, it also emphasizes that there are no references or principles in the current Public Records Act and its enforcement rules, public standards, and guidelines. This paper ultimately examines the provisions that are related to audiovisual archives of the current Public Records Act, which needed to be revised and enacted due to the lack of an audiovisual archives management manual of national institutions, public broadcasters, and organizations can refer to. In addition, this study tries to find out what kind of systems and guidelines are used in audiovisual archives management. This paper examines the current state of standardization of audiovisual records of the National Archives. It also analyses the systems and the guidelines methodically for efficient audiovisual record management in the public records management sector. It suggests the new direction of relevant public standards and guidelines through this research. Futhermore, it measures to activate the audiovisual management policy-making functions of the National Archives. The necessity of establishing a Public Audiovisual Archives as an organization was also reviewed in this paper. The Public Audiovisual Archives will collect Public Audio and Videos systematically and comprehensively through the legal deposit system. And it will be operated by the management and the utilization system so that it can be used for public as a collective memory. Finally, it will takes a charge of a professional role in audiovisual record management field, such as technology standardization to safeguard and protect the copyrights through this process.

Today, the civil society plays a key role not only in criticizing and monitoring the functions of the state and the market, but also as an active producer of public services by complementing the government and the public sector. Public records management is also becoming more and more popular. In the case of appraisal and selection, which is the core area of record management, discussions about citizen participation are becoming more serious than any other areas. The concept of 'proactive appraisal', which has emerged as a paradigm of citizens' participation in appraisal, reminds us that citizens themselves are the subjects of public records and are no longer alienated from the appraisal system. The problem is, while the growth of the Korean civil society about institutional participation is spreading rapidly, but citizen participation is hard to find in the field of public records. The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of citizen participation in the process of appraisal of public records, and to debunk the role of citizen participation in the appraisal processes by exploring the examples in the UK, Canada, and Australia. This paper emphasizes that the appraisal system of the national public records in crisis today could be largely restored through the domestic application of this active citizen participation cases. First of all, this study presents a conceptual appraisal model that could reflect citizen participation in the field of record management along with the analyses of the advanced cases in some western countries. Specifically, this paper focuses on presenting the models of 'appraisal documentation' and 'governance-based appraisal', reflecting the active citizen participation. This study suggests that these citizens' participatory evaluation models should be settled in Korea in the future and we should urgently discuss 'citizen participation appraisal'.

Public institutions defining the legal scope of records management are a prerequisite to ensure the accountability and public's right to know. In this study, the requirements essential for determining the legal scope of the concept of public records were identified. For this, the concept of policies and the scope of public records which were prescribed by current laws such as the Public Records Management Act, Electronic Government Act, and Framework Act on Electronic Documents and Transactions were analyzed by this study. Furthermore, by examining both domestic and foreign cases on the legal competence of evidence of digitized records, institutional supplementary points were proposed.

Cheongnamdae is public building which was built in 1983. Cheongnamda had been used for the exclusive villa for Presidents of Korea from then until 2003 when it opened to the public. Because of public building, public records would have been produced during the construction process. The records of public institutions are generally managed and destroyed according to retention schedule. Considering the retention schedule of those days, it is more likely that most of records which would show the accountability about building Cheongnamdae do not remain. But regardless of retention period, those records may be left, so we need to confirm existence of the records. The purpose of this study is to examine whether the records related to the construction remain or not. For the examination, I make a list of the records which are supposed to be created during the construction process. Then I identify whether those records are preserved in records-creating institutions or national archives or not. And I suggest the selection strategy of the records of existing public buildings and show the direction for managing the records of public buildings to be built.

웹 기술이 발달함에 따라 공공기관 웹사이트는 단순한 행정기관의 홍보에서 벗어나 국민과 정부 간의 의사소통의 증거인 동시에 업무의 기록으로서 역할을 담당하고 있다. 따라서 공공기관의 웹사이트들은 공공기록물로 인식하고 보호해야 한다. 하지만 공공기관의 웹기록물 중 하나인 심층 웹기록물은 실시간으로 상이한 페이지를 동적으로 구성하기 때문에 기존의 보존방법과는 다른 수집 보존 활용 기술이 요구된다. 국가기록원은 이러한 특징을 가지고 있는 심층 웹기록물을 장기보존하기 위해서 심층 웹기록물 장기보존 포맷인 KoDeWeb을 연구하고 개발하였다. KoDeWeb은 전자기록물이기 때문에 전자기록물로서 진본성 및 무결성을 보장해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 KoDeWeb의 전자기록물로서의 진본성 및 무결성을 증명하기 위해 국제 전자기록물 표준인 OAIS 참조모델에 KoDeWeb을 맵핑시켰다. 나아가 OAIS표준을 따르고 있는 전자기록물 장기보존 시스템에 KoDeWeb을 사용함으로써, 정부 및 공공기관의 심층 웹기록물 생성 및 수집을 체계화하고, 또한 민간이 운영하는 웹의 심층 웹기록물 장기보존에 활용할 수 있다.

Korean archival community had continuously dealt with attempts at weakening the core of records and archives principles in the name of deregulation. In 2015, Korean government announced revisions of the Archives Law in order to boost uses of commercial records facilities by public institutions. As key concepts were unclear and understandings among stake-holders varied, a considerable degree of chaos and anxiety aroused. The amendment itself was held at National Assembly. The unresolved disputes rested, however, waiting for another attempt of similar nature. As the recognition propelled this paper, it aimed at reviewing major contending arguments and proposing future actions.
