Collecting, archiving, and using civil records in the private sector is recognized as part of the legitimate rights that citizens should have in civil society. However, the national records management system does not have a balance between private records management and public records management, and private records are excluded from appropriate government support. Considering that civilian records cannot be restored or restored once lost or damaged, it is clear that national attention and support are needed. This study discusses the need for institutional support for private records and has two main directions for support policies: sustainable support for the revitalization and promotion of civic records culture, and within the region for the sustainable management and preservation of private records. It was identified that a stable organization and physical space support were needed for the collection and preservation of private records. And to put it into practice, the conceptual categories and current status of private records management, and the characteristics of private records management that need to be considered when establishing a private records management policy were examined.

This study analyzed policies and guides related to the acquisition of private records at state/provincial archives in the U.S., Canada, and Australia. The purpose of this study is to examine the current status of collecting private records in the governmental archives. The analysis was made based on policies and guides from 14 state/provincial archives, including five in the US, seven in Canada, and two in Australia. From the analysis, the study examined collection areas, types of private records, and colleting methods, such as donation or deposit. It also studied the considerations on transferring copyright, placing access restrictions, and disposing of records. The study made the following suggestions for collecting private records at public archives in Korea: (1) define the collecting areas of private records relevant to the characteristics of a region; (2) determine the acquisition methods, including donation or deposit, and establish a procedure to make an agreement for the transfer of ownership, including copyright, access restriction, and disposal of records; (3) develop cooperation among the related institutions within a region.

From the beginning of the enactment and implementation of the Public Records Management Act, there has been a steady discussion on the establishment of local archives. Local archives include not only administrative records of local governments, but also private archives such as containing the lives of residents. Along with the academic discussion, there have been movements for local autonomy and decentralization. Currently, interest and discussion on private archiving are in the historical flow. In addition, private archiving has become a social concern because of the establishment of systems such as the Public Records Management Act and the Information Disclosure Act, the establishment of a digital environment, and the spread of the meaning and value of village community activities. There are several government agencies related to private archiving, and the grounds for performing their work are different, and there are many central administrative agencies to which they belong. Therefore, I propose that the National Archives take the lead and form a 'Consortium of Private archives Management Institutions'. The organization should promote first, cooperation of collection information and archives, second, coordination of tasks and functions between institutions, and third, establishment of a nationwide private archives management system. Now is our chance. Instead of reacting on an ad hoc basis, respond systematically with a long-term perspective.

Private archives are an important indicator of understanding a society that contains various memories, the lives and experiences of members, daily lives, morality, and values. Recently, as diversity has emerged as an important value in Korean society, a number of individuals and communities have been appeared based on different bases and purposes, and the contents, types, and categories of private archives produced from their voluntary activities have also diversified. These private organizations and communities are potential targets for producing and holding private archives, but most of them do not have the minimum infrastructure or system for management of archives, and the foundation for management of archives is weak only to be supported with the voluntary will and activities of the private sector. Therefore, there is a need for a plan to support activities to manage archives suitable for each organization's level while respecting the unique characteristics and methods of the private sector within the national management system of archives. In addition, since it is difficult to solve all issues related to management of archives in the private sector with only a small number of process topics, a cooperative system should be established to sustain activities to manage archives on its own through networks between private sectors. In this study, we intend to propose a 'private archives information network platform (hereinafter referred to as a platform)' as a way to establish a communication and network foundation between private sectors and share resources with each other. Based on the results of analysis of cases of building network between private sectors and expected user requirements, we would like to establish a vision and target model of the platform and discuss ways to continuously operate the platform.

The records management system in Korea has a short history of about 20 years. However, the system is relatively stable. This compressed development has been mainly in public records. This is because the laws and regulations related to private records management were insufficient. Fortunately, Two local permanent records management institutions have recently been established. Therefore, interest in the management of local records has been growing. The Management of private records is an important part of the management of local records. The collection of private records is based on ordinances established by local governments.

The recent revision of the Public Records Management Act provided a basis for the procurement of private records from local archives. Accordingly, some local governments are promptly trying to gather these private records through various ways, and a representative methodology of such is a contest for acquiring records. This study aims to analyze how much this contest contributes to the acquisition of private records and the current status of its operation. As an example of this study, Jeonju Citizens Archives, which conducted the contest more than ten times, was selected. Based on the analysis results, the operation status of the contest for acquiring records and improvement plans for activation were presented.

In recent discussions on civil records, the term citizen records is being used instead of civil records. It is necessary to analyze the implications of using the term 'citizen record' instead of the term 'civil record'. Specifically, this paper examines how various words, including min, are understood and used in modern Korean politics and society, and the conceptual changes in relation to social changes in Korean society, so that we can name them civil records rather than civilian records. We want to find out the conceptual implications of what we do. To this end, first, we understand the concept of citizen as a historical contrast to the people, and second, we examine the meaning of citizen record management as part of citizenship. Furthermore, from the perspective of associational civic movements, we will look at village development and community movements, and consider the political and social meanings of civic records produced by citizens in their daily lives through these activities.

Twenty years after the Records Managemen Act was first enacted, the archiving environment has changed a lot. The advent of the electronic records environment, the importance of presidential records management, and the importance of managing private records have been a direct background to the 2006 revision of the Records Management Act. The field of electronic records management and the field of presidential records management have challenges and limitations, but have been steadily developing. However, in the private sector, archiving has not changed significantly compared to the voluntary activity. Now the maeul-community is calling for a response from the records management community. A society develops when the private and public sectors cooperate with each other and form healthy check-ups. In the archiving field, it must also become active through cooperation.
