This paper reviews recent records issues surrounding former president Roh Moo-Hyun's private possession of the copies of the presidential records in Korea. While the former president transferred his records to the National Archives of Korea, he copied his electronic presidential records and kept them in his house after the term. His retention of the "records copies" arouse critical records issues and criminal charges. In this paper, I examined the definition of presidential records and legal status of records copies, authenticity of electronic copies of public records in public and private records systems, nature and scope of presidential privilege of access to his records, and most importantly, political neutrality of national archives. I examined these issues comparing with foreign experience, especially that of the United States which has the Presidential Records Act like Korea. All issues are examined in the professional spirit of archives principles and archives ethics. Legal status of the electronic copies of presidential records is not firmly established and the criminal charge seems groundless. However, it is against public archives principles and ethics that private former president privately possesses and manages private information and national security information held in the electronic copies of the presidential records. Presidential Records Act of Korea provides an effective tool to protect the presidential records for 15 years and it should be respected. It is time to consolidate the public records management institutions in Korea, not to disintegrate them.

Despite the Public Records Management Act in effect for more than 10 years and the various achievements of 'Records management Innovation' made by the former government, records management in Korea still remains unsatisfactory in many fields. Especially one of the main concerns is about the records centers in the public offices failed to work efficiently. There remains lots of so-called ancient regime elements in the records center system, which causes the lack of stability. Divisions of general affairs in the public offices had played main role in records management for more than 50 years since the establishment of the government, and their role was limited to take over some records created and to manage the poor stack room. According to the Public Records Management Act revised in 2007, data center was renamed to records center and it was obliged to place records center under the office of planning management or the office of administration. But records centers have been nevertheless operated at a very formal level in most public offices. It is the real state of affairs that professional records management system interconnecting records office, records center and archives is not achieved. Why is it? This article is an answer to this question. This article attempt to find out on the inner causes such as structure of records center, records management profession, records management methodology, and above all historical background. In addition, it put stress on the necessity of definite separation between records office and records center and assurance of independent operation of records center for the normalization of the records management system. Improvement of methodology including records management process is also of great importance. And the standardization of records management business of the records center is suggested as one of the main tasks on the basis of the accumulation of 'best practices of records management' in the cooperation with the records management community.

This study examines the current status of national & public university archives management, focusing on Busan and Gyeongnam area. Because national public universities create public records, they must compulsorily execute the law, Public Records and Archives Act. However revised Public Records and Archives Act isn't reflected the peculiarity of university archives and the national and public universities are to be transferred to government archive. The records and archives of universities had better be preserved in universities themselves in order to use university member and other users. This paper points out the problem of university archives management and finalizes with some suggestions for national public university archives related to the systematic and efficient archives management.

조선시대에 도성의 개천과 한강변에서 하천 수위를 측정하였다. 세종 23년(1441년)에 측우기와 수표(水標)를 제작하여 강우량과 하천수위를 측정하기 시작한 것이다. 수표는 지금의 청계천과 한강변두 곳에 설치하였다. 와다유찌는 조선고대의 관측기록을 정리하면서 측우기 기록을 분석하였고, 수표 기록을 정리하였다. 본 연구에서는 고문헌 자료에서 수표 관측 기록을 복원하여 조선의 도성인 개천(청계천)과 한강의 홍수 기록을 복원하는데 활용하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서 복원한 승정원일기와 기우제등록에 수록된 수표의 관측기록은 와다유찌가 조사한 기록을 상회한다. 와다유찌가 조사한 기록은 명종 1554년부터 영조 1778년까지인데, 1554년의 기록은 1회에 그치며, 인조11년(1633) 이후의 기록이 대부분이다. 이 점은 기우제등록의 경우도 유사하다. 기우제등록은 인조 11년부터 고종 26년(1889)까지의 기우제, 기청제, 기설제에 대한 기록을 정리한 것으로 전체 6권으로 구성되어 있다. 기우제 기록과 함께 수표기록(중부, 남부, 한강 및 수표)이 포함되어 있다. 기우제등록에 수록된 수표기록은 총 690회에 이르지만, 1779년 6월 11일의 3척 5촌을 마지막으로 더 이상의 기록은 찾아볼 수 없다. 숙종의 재위 기간에는 1669년부터 1791년까지 매년의 홍수상황이 기록되어 있다. 당시 한강의 수위와 도성안 개천에서 중부수표와 남부수표 2곳의 수표 기록을 있으나, 숙종 23년(1697)부터는 중부수표만 기록되어 있다. 이 지점에서의 10척을 상회하는 홍수는 20번의 기록이 있다.

In this article, the author introduces the paradigm shift in archival studies that occurs in north America. Although the dominant paradigm in the archival studies-the positivism paradigm-greatly contributed to build modern archives in Europe and north America, during last decades, new ideas and technologies led the archival communities to re-identify their social roles and powers and to adopt new values of archives and archivist. This essay argues that this changes is essential to our future and we understand the nature of the changes from the broader interdisciplinary perspective of archives studies, information studies, and history.
