The discussion on local archives management institutions started in the early 2000s and has been steady. In the law, local records management institutions first appeared in 1999, and in 2007, the establishment of local records management institutions by local governments became compulsory. The archival institutions of local government, however, were actually founded in the Gyeongnam Province, 2018, and in the Seoul City, 2019, over 10 years after the revision of the law. And as of 2021, various local governments, including Gyeonggi-do, are conducting research to establish local archives management institutions. This is the time when domestic records management institutions are introduced in earnest. However, it is still unclear how regional archives will operate in practice, particularly how they will accommodate the management of private archives, which has long been regarded as the mission of regional archives. In this thesis, the past discussions on the local record management institutions will be reviewed focusing on private record management. In this regard, it is intended to examine the current state of private records management of local records management institutions through the current status of local records management institutions in operation, and to seek directions for local records management institutions based on this.

Many records and documents are produced during the process of functions of local councils such as resolution, monitoring and balancing function, representation for the residents, Such records of local councils have importance in terms of objective basis and standards for local policy building and making. The most essential records among these are those of local councils assembly. The fundamental function of local councils is the assembly of individual members of the council and standing committees. For this, the author firstly reviewed the current management system of local council assembly records focusing on Daejeon Yuseonggu Council and conducted researches and interviews with the officers responsible for record keeping. And finally, the author analyzed such researches and findings. From this analysis, the author discovered the problems in the management of record keeping and suggested the improvement for the systematic management firstly in terms of institutional aspects and secondly in terms of the stages of record keeping and management based on ISO 15489, the international standard for information and documentation, records management.

In the 1990s, the Korean government enacted the Act on the Management of Records in Public Institutions to produce and register records. Since then, through the revision of the act in 2006, it was wholly amended into the "Public Records Management Act," which presented significant changes with regard to the functions and roles from the former act. According to the new act, there are 17 metropolitan governments subject to the legal obligation of a local archive installation, but most of them are not planning for the establishment of local archives except Seoul and Gyeongsangnam-do in 2018. Therefore, this study surveyed 12 among the 14 record centers, which are the institutes that Daegu local archive will have managed, The current status of records management was analyzed, and records more than 30 years in the institutes were investigated.

This study is to investigate the development of 'Educational Larchiveum' especially for the Kyeongsangnam-do Provincial Office of Education. 'Educational Larchiveum' means Educational Archives including some museum and library functions. This study begins with articulating that why the provincial offices of education should establish their own archives despite of legal obligation. It draws the roles of 'Educational Larchiveum' and its environmental requirements, based on analysing the Archives/Museum case of Toronto District School Board Education. Finally it suggests that how Gyeongsnam-do Offie of Education can establish the 'Educational Larchiveum' in condition of integration of the Gyeongsnam-do Educational Museum and the private educational museum(Park Yeon-mook Educationl Museum).

본 연구는 기록물관리법 시행과 함께 대학자료관 설치가 의무화되고 있는 시점에서 자료관의 불필요한 중복을 피하고, 규모 및 기능 등을 구체화하기 위한 목적으로 수행되었다. 대학자료관 설치를 통한 효율적인 대학기록물 보존을 위해서는 중장기적인 발전계획의 수립과 유사기능을 갖는 도서관 및 박물관등에서 이루어지고 있는 대학기록물 및 보존환경 등에 대한 충분한 검토가 이루어져야 한다. 이는 여러 곳에서 기록물을 가지고 있다고 하더라도 관리의 측면에서는 이들 모두 대학 기록물로서의 일부를 이루기 때문이다. 특히 지방대학의 경우 현실적인 여건을 극복하기 위하여 기관 내 유사기능 기관들과 또는 지역 내 대학간 협력을 통해 기록물의 정보를 서로 공유하고 활용할 수 있는 효과적인 기능수행을 모색할 필요성이 있다.

Local governments in Korea, sixteen in total, shall establish local government archives to and manage preserve their permanent archives to comply with the Public Records Management Act amended in October 2006. National Archives of Korea(NAK) directed the local governments to recruit legally qualified archivists by the end 0f 2006 and to plan on the establishment and operation of the local government archives by the end 2007. However, none of the government archives was established by far. Government officials in NAK and the local governments raised the limits of the budget and human resources. What is more serious is that they don't concern why the archives are necessary and what missions and functions the archives should have. In this paper, I summarized the present situation and problems in establishing the local archives, and what we will do to establish normal government archives. First, local governments should establish "local government records commissions" and employ qualified archivists. The local government records commission should comprise concerned and qualified members. The records commission, as a policy and decision-making body, should make plans and implement the plans to establish the local archives, establish professional training programs to produce qualified archivists, promote local archives community activities, determine operational issues, and make a long-term development plan satisfying local demands. Second, the local government archives share existing repositories of NAK. Third, after the establishment of the archives, the local archives should perform normal records and archives management of the local governments as records acts mandate, do general records surveys and appraise the records created in the local governments. The local government archives should collect valuable local archives including private archives, and arrange and make usable them to provide access. They also promote and coordinate various cultural heritage community activities related to the local archives.

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.

It is time to prepare for the imminent development from the field of records management through decentralization to the records management of the new age in accordance with the flow of decentralization. To overcome a centralized record management system, more archives should be established to realize autonomous and decentralized records management. In accordance with the shift to a full-scale electronic record management environment, the appropriateness and effectiveness of the three-phase system of processing-archival-permanent record management based on physical transfer should be reviewed in terms of transfer cost and work efficiency. The archives should function as institutional archives to carry out the continuous volume record management and the autonomous record management at the institution level. This study examined the possibilities and implications of the archives to expand their functions as archives of institutions for the decentralization of record management and information governance orientation. In addition, the study diversified the types of records management institutions as a way to accomplish this and determined a way to design the functions of archives that integrate the current-end-end-end records management. At each level, institutions should set up archives based on their circumstances and aim at information governance at the level of each archive. Moreover, each archive level should establish a horizontal network to govern record information management.

This paper aims at examining the local records management under the influence of the Public Archives Act established in 2009 through a case study of prefectures and large cities with prefectural level dominions in Japan. The records management in local government has been carried out on the basis of 'the document management rule' in administrative agencies without the public archives management law. Modification of laws and ordinances in relation with records and archives management and reorganization of archives are proceeding to realize 'proper records management' in local government. Even if the content and levels are varied due to the situational conditions of local governments, the unitary records management system covering 'current and non-current' records is being adopted through the establishment of records management ordinances. In the process, local archives are pursuing strengthening and extension of their authorities and functions on records management. In addition, it is identified that observation of the provisions of records management ordinance is reinforced with public announcement of retention schedule and operation of public records management committees. These changes in local governments reflect the thought that administrative records are the intellectual property of the public and the intent of the law that accountability for the public should be achieved through the proper records management.
