The purpose of this study was to identify the records management system through the United States Records Management Act. The focus was on dividing its record management system into a state with the federal government, and looking at the operations. State records management does not cover all states, so it cited cases in Wisconsin and California where the systems are thought to have been best overhauled. The characteristics of the United States' recordkeeping system in this study are likely to be summarized in three ways: independence and autonomy of records management are guaranteed, many exchanges with cultural institutions in the region, and a historical society that is greatly influenced by them.

Although a few years have passed since the importance of the public record management became the subject, the management of the minutes which is produced from the deliberation and decision-making process of an important policy relatively was been neglected the while. When institutionally inspecting at present, the minutes production is based upon Record Management Law, and the minutes opening is based upon Freedom of Information Act. Although the minutes must be made out according to Record Management Law, it is not well operated. So, the minutes formally is made out and there was actually the important minutes excepted from the management object. Opening of the minutes made by Article 9 of Freedom of Information Act has the problem that be used as a basis of dividing unfairly into closed opening because the reason of the closed opening is vague. This study analyzes the problem of production and opening of the current minutes. It also considers Sunshine Act in USA and suggests a institutional ways for production and opening of Korean minutes. We can think of two institutional ways for production and opening of the minutes. One is making a separate law like Sunshine Act in USA. The other is revising the existing laws. In reality it's very difficult to make a new law for minute production and opening. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to suggest the way for revising Record Management Law and Freedom of Information Act that include minutes related regulations. The record must be fundamentally produced and opened for a nation and people as public records is the records of the nation and people as well as an authority which produced those records. If the minutes is produced and opened from a institutional change through the revision of Record Management Law and Freedom of Information Act, the minutes can not only help the responsible administration to realize but be utilized to important historical records as a basis data of an important policy decision-making.

This instution can provide answers regarding those ways. Moreover, managing disaster-related collections should be discussed as an important means of remembering, preserving memories, educating, revealing the truth, and preparing academic information and sources. As a result, collaborative governance in records management after a disaster is expected.

The objective of this research is to search for measures to properly respond to the greatly increasing demands of complex information disclosure. At present, South Korea makes the deployment of records managers at public institutions mandatory through the Records Act. Records disclosure goes beyond simply deciding on the revelation and private usage of records, and requires the professionalism of institutions such as task knowledge and law-related knowledge. However, most records managers lack professionalism in the task of records disclosure despite achieving such in their regular work of managing records. As a countermeasure for such issues, this research is proposing the introduction of a series of exclusive charges in records disclosure named the Government Information Specialist, which professionally manages the records disclosure of the US government. In addition, to understand the demand of such, surveys and interviews of records managers who undertake both records management and records disclosure tasks at a South Korean public institution was also conducted.

Documentation is thus considered an irreplaceable method to preserve our cultural heritage as it may be the last resort of preservation. The study analyzed the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) on the Heritage Documentation Programs of the National Park Service. Based on the analysis of the comparison and documentation of the modern architectural building implemented by the Cultural Heritage Administration, the study suggested improvement plans from three different perspectives. First, specifically detailed regulations of the legal system are supposed to be used for the implementation of the documentation of modern architectural buildings. Second, it is suggested that a general plan for continuous documentation be made. Last, by setting up a collection method, an information service needs to be provided for the public.
