User needs and their usage motivations are critical components of web portal success, yet limited studies have been conducted with the constituents of good cultural heritage archive portals from the user perspective. This study proposes a quality assessment model from the user perspective. To overcome the intrinsic biases, the triangulation approach was chosen for building a research model. The proposed research model adapts three existing web portal quality models: service quality model, data quality model, and technology acceptance model. A 99-item instrument is suggested to investigate the proposed model. In the next phase of research, the instrument will be tested for its construct validity, and the research model will be empirically tested.

Since the 2000s, there has been growing interest in community archival research in the West, and in Korea, projects that support citizen or resident participation in archival activities have also been increasing. With the role of community members as producers of records having gained importance in Korea, it has become necessary to examine the affective approach currently discussed in archival studies, focusing on the impact of "archival activities" on individual citizens. Unlike emotion, which is a personal and subjective experience, affect is characterized by "a sense shared based on relationships" and involves the concept of transformation of being (affection). This study aims to explore a method for analyzing the "affective impact applicable to citizen archival activities," an area that has not been previously addressed. To this end, the study reviews the meaning and concept of citizen archival activities and their development in Korea, focusing on the UCLA study (2018) and Brophy's (2005) approach to analyzing the affective impact of community archives to explore methodologies. It also explores the integration of the concept of "partyhood" to better reflect the characteristics of citizen archival activities. Based on these findings, this study proposes a conceptual model for analyzing the affective impact of citizen archival activities on recorders in Korea.

In order to analyze big data, documents should be converted to a open standard format to increase machine readability. It also need natural language processing tools. This study focused on the background of intelligent document processing and the status of research in the public sector, and predicted the changes in work that intelligent document processing would bring. This study noted the changes that intelligent document processing would bring to the archival work, and also considered changes in the role of archivist and their required competencies. Changes in archival work could be anticipated across a wide range of Records Management work and Archives Management work. In particular, it was expected to have a significant impact on the automation of repetitive archival tasks or the description and utilization of records. This study proposed the need to prepare new archival work procedures, methods, and necessary competencies in response to these change in archival work.

We, at The Korea Democracy Movement Archives opened temporarily at SungKongHoe University(SKHU), have currently collected about 100,000 recorded materials of democratization movement related with labor, farmer, civilian, human rights, peace, unification, young people, student and women's movements by investigating, collecting and receiving donations from civil organizations and individuals, and about 70,000 data out of this 100,000 data were converted into computer files. The Korea Democracy Movement Archives(temp) at SKHU has a significance in that it is the first archive opened by an organization. Furthermore, the opening of this Archive means the expansion of awareness on recording culture and accumulation of the achievements of the democratization movement in Korea. However, many obstacles still remain in the establishment of this Archive in a full-scale. This article examined many theoretical and realistic obstacles posed to the archivists, who are the professionals responsible for record management, in process of establishing the Archive, and the role and future perspectives of the archivists at The Korea Democracy Movement Archives(temp). The first obstacles in the process of organizing and separating the recorded materials at the Archive is a difficulty in the description of classifying the different movement organizations. The second obstacle is a difficulty in specifically applying the international standard, ISAD(G), of record description in the process of establishing the description items. Through many trials and errors, we need to try to confirm the description befitting. The Korea Democracy Movement Archives through continuous adjustment and complementary measures. The third obstacle is a difficulty in estimating the range and physical and quantitative amount of the recorded materials since the collection of recorded materials is complete. Thus, the answers to these problems lie in continuous efforts to establish a creative classification system befitting the democratization movement in Korea in the process of many trials and errors and endeavor. The evaluation classification done by archivists is a creative act forming record heritage, and archivists need to form record heritage reflecting the evaluation system of a certain period. Moreover, they transmit the shape of the current era in a maximum scale to the future by using the minimum amount of records. An archivist is responsible for two tasks, i.e., preserving a record and making other people to utilize the record by working with record. However, We, at The Korea Democracy Movement Archives(temp), have an additional task of contributing to the democratization movement in korea that has not ended by collecting, preserving and making people to utilize the fragments of memory in the recent history of Korea by establishing the Archives.

This paper illustrates the process of Japanese invasion of Joseon. In the December of 1905, specifically, Japan established the Residency-General in order to reform systems of government and to control records. Japan founded the Residency-General to reinforce the internal affairs of Joseon. Then, they reorganized systems of government using Joseon's bureaucracy system. The reorganization facilitated control of current and non-current records. After all, this helped Japan to know the actual circumstances of Joseon and the invasion of Joseon. To be specific, Japan organized the records at the Kyujanggak, an imperial library of the Joseon Dynasty, for understanding historical records and dominated Joseon government's current records for comprehending vulnerability of Joseon. On the other hand, Japan invaded Joseon by justifying their actions as 'administration improvement' and 'reformation'. Here are the actual examples. First, the Residency-General dominated the Kyujanggak and reorganized historical records which were stored there. It lasted for two years and let Japan comprehend the course of Joseon history. Second, the Residency-General collected and arranged current records of Joseon. It was buckled down in the August of 1910, when the Great Han Empire collapsed. After the fall of the Great Han Empire, the Residency-General transferred government records from the Japanese Government-General of Korea in order to understand the state of Joseon. Last, the Residency-General arranged records on both governmental and the Imperial property, then most of them reverted to national property.

Electronic records, characterized by their inherent volatility and instability, necessitate sustainable preservation measures to ensure their long-term accessibility. The National Archives of Korea has instituted a selection system for preservation formats tailored predominantly for document-type electronic records. However, this system falls short in accommodating other record types such as audiovisual records. This study endeavors to broaden the applicability of the existing system, with a concentrated focus on image-type electronic records, and to formulate foundational guidelines for their long-term preservation. In South Korea, image-type electronic records rank as the second most prevalent category following document-type. The image-type electronic records are the most basic form of audio-visual records, and research on this lays the foundation for future discussions on other audio-visual records. Consequently, this research has led to the development of a selection system for preservation formats specifically for image-type electronic records. This system is designed to facilitate the prompt and efficient evaluation of preservation format suitability, even in the context of emerging image formats. The efficacy of this system was validated through its application to extant image formats, resulting in the selection of TIFF, JFIF, and PNG as the optimal preservation formats. The outcomes of this study offer valuable insights and practical reference points for future preservation format evaluations within the field of electronic record management.

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.

This article intends to provide a direction for reconstructing the national regime of archival appraisal in electronic record environments. Functional appraisal, which inevitably carries out for appraising electronic records, has defects in aspect of selecting archives important in a national point of views. To do so, this article discusses defects of functional appraisal, and then suggests the necessity of archival appraisal strategies that complements functional appraisal. To investigate this archival appraisal strategies, it analyzes Australia's Whole-of-Government Functional Analysis, United Kingdom's Acquisition Policy and Appraisal Policy, Germany's Cooperative Cross-Archives Appraisal and Canada's Macro Appraisal. Ultimately, this analysis is able to establish a base of the regime of archival appraisal which will harmonize primary value at current stage with secondary value at non-current stage in a national point of views.
