A records management agency assessment must reflect the possibility of actual situations including conditions and implementation. Institutional evaluation systems and indicators tools to improve records management. However, the reality is difficult if they are not conducted through the resources and efforts of the organization. The 2017 evaluation system of the National Archives of Korea and the index, which was published in March 2016, are expected to be highly difficult to perform as the frontline field tasks of the institution for a year. It is composed of indices with questionable effectiveness that are difficult to implement on the field. Some of these include the following: three training sessions for more than 10% of all employees, submission of document archive pictures of all schools, submission of the index items of all documents, increasing the utilization level of the standard record management system for the electronic documents that have not been transferred for several years, the transfer of non-electronic documents of all institutions, reclassification of non-disclosed records, etc. It recognizes the fundamental problems of the records management system and the 2017 evaluation indicators that the National Archives has mentioned about operations. As such, now is the time to reflect the years of experience in the field to amass knowledge that will help improve records management.

The melting phenomenal of the horizontal cylindrical ice-bar submerged in water are experimentally investigated for the temperature range from 2.5.deg. C to 15.deg. C. The shapes of the melting ice-bar are recorded by the Photo-elasticity Apparatus with modification of the test section. The shadowgraphs of the melting ice-bar show that water adjacent to the bar flows upward for the temperature range from 2.5.deg. C to 5.6.deg. C while above the temperature of 5.6.deg. C the flow is downward direction. The local and average Nusselt numbers become minimum at 5.6.deg. C which is considered as a critical temperature and the Nusselt numbers increase as temperature difference from the critical temperature increase.

"Archives of Everyday Life" refers to an organization or facility which collects, appraises, selects and preserves the document from the memory of individuals, groups, or a society through categorizing and classifying lives and cultures of ordinary people. The document includes materials such as diaries, autobiography, letters, and notes. It also covers any digital files or hypertext like posts from blogs and online communities, or photos uploaded on Social Network Services. Many research fields including the Records Management Studies has continuously claimed the necessity of collection and preservation of ordinary people's records on daily life produced every moment. Especially diary is a written record reflecting the facts experienced by an individual and his self-examination. Its originality, individuality and uniqueness are considered truly valuable as a document regardless of the era. Lately many diaries have been discovered and presented to the historical research communities, and diverse researchers in human and social studies have embarked more in-depth research on diaries, their authors, and social background of the time. Furthermore, researchers from linguistics, educational studies, and psychology analyze linguistic behaviors, status of cultural assimilation, and emotional or psychological changes of an author. In this study, we are conducting a metastudy from various research on diaries in order to reaffirm the value of "The 12th May Diaries Collection" as everyday life archives. "The 12th May Diaries Collection" consists of diaries produced and donated directly by citizens on the 12th May every year. It was only 2013 when Digital Archiving Institute in Univ. of Myungji organized the first "Annual call for the 12th May". Now more than 2,000 items were collected including hand writing diaries, digital documents, photos, audio and video files, etc. The age of participants also varies from children to senior citizens. In this study, quantitative analysis will be made on the diaries collected as well as more profound discoveries on the detailed contents of each item. It is not difficult to see stories about family and friends, school life, concerns over career path, daily life and feelings of citizens ranging all different generations, regions, and professions. Based on keyword and descriptors of each item, more comprehensive examination will be further made. Additionally this study will also provide suggestions to examine future research opportunities of these diaries for different fields such as linguistics, educational studies, historical studies or humanities considering diverse formats and contents of diaries. Finally this study will also discuss necessary tasks and challenges for "the 12th May Diaries Collection" to be continuously collected and preserved as Everyday Life Archives.

This paper is to examine the issues of the right of portrait and to suppose practical guideline for performing arts archives. The right of portrait protects external looks of the human beings based on the constitutional human dignity, privacy of a secret and freedom. But sometimes these rights are limited in case of the right to know of the public shall have precedence to the interests of the privacy of individuals. It is hard to regard Performing Arts as a private life in two respects: first, Performing Arts is just one of societal expressions, two, performers are conducting a given role as a performing character. Producing database with the photos and videos under the reasonable agreement from the performers and making it available as a service can be disclaimers of the right of portrait. It is hard to be acknowledged, however, as disclaimers in case of being undermined sameness in the course of using the portraits of the performers.

On Kawara's works are not only artworks but are also his personal daily records. He produced many artworks whose theme centered on his everyday life, a plan that he had precisely made. He selected several specific themes from his daily life: when and where he met someone, what he read, and where he traveled. Kawara constantly recorded his daily life using various types of unconventional medium: maps, postcards, and telegrams. Although he was occupied with recording his everyday life, he was also active in forming public opinions on various issues through social media. Kawara's works, which exhibit a distinctive characteristic of himself, could be classified as individual records because it includes an individual's daily life and selected issues. His artworks express concern for or expose the irrationality of his society, which encourages ordinary people to let their voices be heard and take part in public affairs. Thus, his works function not just as art but also as precious historical records.

The first Protestant medical missionary, Horace Allen, came to Korea in 1884 and built the first western-style hospital, Jaejungwon. John Heron, Oliver Avison and other foreign medical doctors soon followed. They established hospitals and medical schools, and, by treating patients and educating native doctors, they disseminated and developed modern medicine in Korea. At the same time, they wrote letters and reports to their sponsoring agencies, as well as family and friends, thereby leaving a vast body of literature that is scattered all over the world. Since the end of the 19th century, the records left by foreign medical missionaries have been valuable resources for the study of Korean history. While all types of records, such as diaries, memoirs, reports and travel logs, are available, these tend to be exaggerated or unverifiable because they are unilateral records. In contrast, letters can be verified because they are bilateral records between the recipient and the sender, and cannot be modified or altered according to changes in circumstances. Despite the academic value of these materials, however, there have been insufficient efforts to discover or identify these primary data sources, or to systematically organize them for scholars. This paper identified 49 archival collections from 29 institutions in North America. After analyzing their academic value, the paper will explore digital humanities options in utilizing the letters for future scholarship.

Namsan Park in Seoul was designated as a "grand park" in 1954 and is currently operated as an 'Urban Nature Park Area' and four 'neighborhood parks.' However, despite the park's historical and cultural value as an urban park, it has been discussed mainly from a perspective revolving around notions of a mountain or a city wall. To ensure a comprehensive exploration of Namsan Park's history, this study examined public records at the Seoul Metropolitan Archives (SMA), which houses the city's permanent records for preservation and organization. To this end, documents in the SMA Database (DB) were analyzed, yielding 1,359 records concerning Namsan Park. Based on the contents, general characteristics of the urban park were identified through production periods, record types, and disclosure types. Then, essential keywords concerning organizations, people, geographical areas, subjects, and business functions were examined. Finally, the contents and characteristics of Namsan Park in public records were scrutinized, focusing on specific spaces. This research also uncovered important information, such as park drawings, photos, planting lists, plant parcel lists, and significant discussions and decisions regarding the operation and management of the park. Although the public records do not contain a comprehensive history of Namsan Park, it was possible to check the primary historical changes and deliberation processes pertaining to the park's history. Therefore, continuous research intended to interpret and describe public records is expected to identify many implications. In addition, because the public records showed heterogeneous characteristics that center on specific periods and events, an essential task is to advance collaboration and networking with various related institutions, designers, researchers, and citizens.

As records of Women's policies and organizations from 1945, there are reports, pamphlet, educational materials, books, and photos. At this time, preservation status of which is so vulnerable. These problems are caused by absence of archivist, small preservation space, and financial weakness. For solving these problems, an alternative is establishing archives specified at collecting and management of materials. It's more important to making database through systemized materials, so that general people also beyond professional researcher, by web server, easily access to information of Korean Women's history.

지상라이다는 고정도의 3차원 영상을 제공하고 레이저 빔을 현장이나 대상물에 발사하여 짧은 시간에 수백만점의 3차원좌표를 기록할 수 있는 최신 측량장비로서 다양한 응용분야에서 두각을 나타내고 있다. 본 연구에서는 지상라이다를 이용한 건축물의 3자윈 자동 윤곽선 추출을 다룬다. 지상라이다는 건축물의 3차원 윤곽선을 신속하게 추출할 수 있지만 지상기반 시스템이므로 여러 가지 장애물 때문에 건국물의 하단부에서는 추출이 쉽지 않다. 기존 항공라이다를 이용한 알고리즘에서는 사진의 색상차나 모폴로지 특성에 의존하여 범위를 제한하고, 이를 기반으로 윤곽선을 추출하였다. 하지만 지상라이다의 경우 항공라이다에 비해 분해능이 월등히 높다. 또한, 지상라이다는 지상에서 측정하기 때문에 항공라이다에서 어려운 건축물의 측면이나 정면도 윤곽선 추출이 가능하기 때문에 본 논문에서는 사진을 이용하지 않고 전처리를 하지 않은 데이터를 직접 이용하여 건물의 정면 윤곽선을 추출하는 것을 제안한다. 건물의 크기와 데이터 수 즉, 라이다로 측정한 포인트 수를 고려한 효율적인 Decimation방법을 제안하고 또한, Decimation된 데이터이서 지역적으로 제일 큰 값과 작은 값을 찾아낸다. 그 중 많이 벗어난 점을 편차를 이용하여 제거한다. 이렇게 찾아낸 건축물의 외곽점들을 이어 만든 윤곽선을 최종적으로 보간하여 좀 더 현실과 가까운 윤곽선 추출 방법을 제안한다.

This study aimed to demonstrate that photographic reading can be used to decipher epigraphs more effectively and accurately than conventional rubbing of epigraphy. When using the rubbing technique, the reading rate varies for the each epigraph depending on the time, person, and rubbing method. Thus, we compared the results of conventional rubbing to photographic reading focusing on unread and misread letters. According to the results, some letters were different from those in the reference books, and some letters that could have been readable via photographic reading were misread or read as different letters. In its undamaged state, the Pyeongwangtapbi Monument of Seonggak Daesa is supposed to contain a total of 2,049 letters, and 1,763 of them have been deciphered. This study corrected a total of 308 letters that had not been deciphered or deciphered inconsistently in existing literatures. However, it should be noted that the epigraphs of the Pyeongwangtapbi Monument of Seonggak Daesa read using the rubbing technique were made at least 30-100 years ago, and the photographic reading was performed in 2010. Thus, the overall condition is not perfectly identical. If we read and compare in the same condition, we may obtain even more reliable results. Therefore, based on this study of photographic reading, further studies regarding the correction of the contents of epigraphy should be performed.
