Minutes of the state council are the highest level records which can show the overall decision making process at the state level. The purpose of this study is to suggest the methodology for designing historical contents based on relational structure of minutes of state council and records of ministries in the period of Rhee Regime. The methodology has three steps; first, it suggests directions of DB design that represent the basic information and agenda of the state councils through the period of Rhee Regime. Second, it proposes subject classification scheme for major policy matters in the period. to which each agenda will be assigned and related ministries' records will be linked. Third, it suggests the basic structure and procedures to develop the historical contents on each subject matter based on the minutes and relational records of ministries.

Minutes of cabinet meetings (hereafter referred to as "minutes") offer records on important activities of the government of the Republic of Korea. The National Archives of Korea has implemented a series of preservation for these minutes such as condition survey, deacidification, microfilming, digitization, making boxes, etc. Conservation treatment plans were further established in 2018 to pursue more preservation of over 2,000 volumes of minutes based on the result of the condition survey of the minutes. Among ninety-seven volumes that require conservation treatments, six volumes have been treated so far. A major concern of conservation treatment of minutes was found that a single volume of minutes contains 800 pages, leading to heavier and bulkier than most of other bound volumes. This paper presents the measures taken to solve the problems resulting from this bulky structure of the bound minutes. It is expected that the study will offer an opportunity to consider effective conservation methods for records on paper of which the physical shapes are yet to be determined.
