With the quantitative growth of research data, the issue of enormous preservation cost and sharing expansion, the organizations should prioritize the collections then select the data that are worthy of save. Therefore, today, it is important for the organizations to appraise the continuing value of produced records. Considering the universities and the public institutions such as governmentfunded research institutes as the heavy producer of the data, it becomes a rising problem for the records management that it does not go beyond the framework of "administrative records" and "public records". In this study, I looked into the background of the contention that the research records must be managed in a different perspective and checked the characteristics of research records in therms of the producers, research activities and records. Based on this analysis, I suggested the main issues and considerations about the subjects, criterias and methods in research records appraisal.

Photographic records capturing the changes of a city are vital parts of local history archives. They were, however, not collected properly for the local history archives even by local governments. Therefore, as a solution for this problem, seven major cities (Seoul, Incheon, Gwangju, Ulsan, Daejeon, Busan, and Daegu) initiated the urban landscape documentation project for archiving the photographic records of each city. This study investigated the current status of the urban landscape documentation project and found that Daegu metropolitan city's project only holds some of the contest photos and a few old photos from the local government. A proper donating process is urgently needed to preserve valuable photographic records of Daegu, and this study aims solutions for the Daegu metropolitan city's urban landscape documentation project to improve the acquisition methods of photographic records. This study suggests the process for photographic records donation from citizens and a metadata set for donated photographs.

One of the features of record management during the Gabo Reform is that the documents office controled producing and distribution of records. The records completed the operations were sent the record office and classified and arranged. previous researches understood this record management system during Gabo Reform were introduced from Japan. This article clarifies that new record management system settled through Meiji Restoration were introduced from German(Prussian) registry system at the time. However, German registry system managed current records and this system was based on modern record management system which open the records to the public with archives. Japan accepted only registry system, current record management system of German, and didn't established archives at Meiji regime. It is same with Joseon Dynasty during the Gabo Reform regime. Therefore, the record related regulation at the Gabo Reform regime could not be judged to be a modern system. The regulations on records at Gabo Reform regime had no terms about people's right or open the records to the public which decides modern record regulations. The meaning of record system during Gabo Reform regime is that the value of records and name of organizations coincides with record life cycle. The documents office managed current records and record office classified and filed closed records. Concept of "current record=document=documents office, non-current record=record= record office" didn't succeed to today. The term 'record' is used as current record or non-current record without difference.

The Records Management Act was established by the result of the National Archive reformism in 1999. However, it could not have brought high-quality changes of recording management since recording management innovation was not continuously achieved. On the other hand, in 2006 the Records Management Act was completely revised as a part of recording management innovation. The records management innovation road map is created as an agenda in order to accommodate difficulties we face in the process of the records management reformism and to establish a norm in accord with international standards, a redesign of records management process and a development of records management system so that it can react quickly to rapidly changing situations on records management paradigms. The organization of the Records Management Act was revised by compensating the defect and applying in international standards. This is due to the fact that it is the highest priority assignment to be able to help promote those sorts of innovation to provide an institutional strategy. 'The National Records Management Advancement Strategy' of National Archives in 2009 seems to be an extension of the recording management Innovation road map. Nonetheless, this strategy cannot be considered a strategy of the consecutive national records management reform since it reflects the basis of the existing policy without any assessment with respect to the records management innovation. Government-level talks on records management innovation should be regarded so as to establish a national policy on records management and to be consistent in carrying Out the policy. This research focuses on how the records management innovation road map is reflected in the Records Management Act in 2006 and how international standards are applied in the act in the national records management regime and current records management system. Furthermore, several challenges will be illustrated to overcome a limit of the Records Management Act in the process.

National Records Designation System is designed to protect valuable civilian records from loss or damage. It also intends that government administrates important civilian records to raise public concerns civilian records and to foster archival culture in Korea. This study investigates the current states of service fo the designated record through the web page of National Archive of Korea. Major findings are as follows. First, the information of designated records is dispersed in two web pages by the National Archive of Korea, an introductive web page of every collection in the National Archive of Korea and a web page of designated record service. Second, the web page of designated record service provides information of designated records only at collection level, so it is not easy for users to understand the contents of the records. In order to improve the service for the designated record service of the National Archive of Korea, this study proposed the unification of dispersed web pages to provide information of the designated records consistently. It also suggested a facet based directory service and word cloud service to give access to the contents of each designated record collection. The facet based directory and word cloud service will help users to understand the designated records in more detail.

급변하는 정보화시대 속에서 우리가 잊고 있는 중대한 사실이 있다. 이는 우리가 많은 양의 정보를 가장 빠르고 작고 편리하게 담고자 치중하고 있는 지금, 그 주체가 되는 기록물, 즉 종이에 적혀있는 과거의 역사는 조금씩 우리 곁에서 사라져 가고 있다는 사실이다. 다시말하자면, 우리가 막대한 예산을 들여 이 기록물을 보존하는 목적으로 다른 매체로 전환시키는데 총력을 기울이면서도, 실제로 보존 대상인 이 기록물들에 대해서는 예산부족을 핑계로 삼아 등한시하고 있는 것이다. 기록물의 보존은 과거에도 중요하게 여겨졌고, 현재와 미래에도 계속 중요하게 여겨질 것이다. 그럼으로 우리는 과거의 기록이라는 메시지를 우리의 선조들로부터 전해 받아 우리의 다음세대에게 전해주는 메신저에 불과하므로 이 메신저의 역할에 대하여 정확하게 알아야 할 것이다. 또한 우리가 전해 받은 과거의 유물로 그대로 물어주기 위해서는 우리가 이 시대에 할 수 있는 최선의 일은 그 원형을 잘 보존시키는 일이다. 이러한 기록물의 소실은 그 기록물에 적혀 있는 과거 역사의 소실을 뜻한다. 따라서 앞으로의 보존과학은 과거에 대한 우리의 탐험을 뒷받침할 많은 정보들을 제시하여 줄 것이며 이러한 정보들이 체계적으로 분류되어 정리될 때 한국 종이 기록물의 보존 복원이 발전을 거듭할 것이다.

As nonexisting information affects actual information release rate, the study noted that the absence of records leads to the "nonexistence of information." Therefore, in this research, it was argued that records management should be thoroughly controlled from the stage of record production to solve problems such as the loss/damage/neglect/destruction/misclassification/ reduction of preservation periods and more. Through the management from the production stage, it is expected that the nonexistence of information problem will not occur and can be used as a tool for a demonstration of why the nonexistence of information exists even if such information occurs.

Records at closed private universities are simply kept in stacks without the use of records classification systems. However, the systematic management of such records is needed as these are important records that have legal and evidential value during the litigation process. Therefore, this study intends to develop a classification system for recordkeeping at closed private universities aiming to eliminate unnecessary follow-up procedures that may occur because of the absence of a records classification system, and to develop practical tools for managing records at closed universities. To this end, Seonam University, among the 13 transfer records kept by the Korea Advancing Schools Foundation, was selected as the example for this study. The peculiarities of the closing processes and the catalogs of the transfer records were reviewed, and a business function analysis was conducted. Based on the Guidelines for Prescribing Retention Period of University Records by the National Archives and the Ministry of Education, a records classification system for the closed private universities was proposed for the Records Disposition Schedule to handle the uniqueness of closed universities.
