The work environment that produces and preserves records is changing in the digital transformation era, going beyond the new technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The electronic records management strategy in the archives must be prepared according to the technology, policy, and environmental changes related to overall records management of the era. Based on this, the basic environment in which the public can access records can be created by preserving the value of records. This study analyzes the direction of changes and strategies of records management in the digital environment and the direction of electronic records management strategies of the National Archives & Records Administration (NARA) in the United States, the National Archives of Australia (NAA), and the National Archives of Korea (NAK). Based on the analysis, the study suggests policies, facilities, and personnel elements as the core of the national electronic records management strategy and direction in the digital era.

The Records Management System in Japan has been developed to a comprehensive and unitary records management system based on the records life-cycle principle from the enactment of 'the Public Records and Archives Management Act' in 2009 and its implementation in April, 2011. The scope of objects has also been extended to documents of independent administrative institutions and specific confidential documents on diplomacy and defense. In addition, a series of Electronic Documents Management Systems have been built for the transfer of electronic records to the National Archives of Japan, which is called the Electronic Records Archives of Japan, in connection with the records and archives management systems covering creation, management, transfer, preservation, and use of electronic records. This paper deals with the core contents and characteristics of the records management system of Japan, focusing on the operational structure of the records and archives management law and electronic documents management. Firstly, The Cabinet Office and professional groups in records and archives management started to work on reformation of the records management system from 2003 and resulted in enactment of the Public Records and Archives Management Act in 2009. In that sense, the Public Records and Archives Management Act can be evaluated as a result of constant activities of the records management community in Japan for realization of accountabilities of government agencies to the general public. Secondly, the Public Records Management Act of Japan has a coherent multi-layer structure from the law, enforcement ordinances, guidelines, and to institutional documents management regulations in the operational system. This is a systematic structure for providing practical business units of each administrative agency with detailed standards on the basis of guidelines and making them to prepare their own specific application standards related to their unique businesses. Unlike the past, the National Archives of Japan became to be able to identify specific historial documents which should be transferred to the archives by selecting important historical records as early as possible after creating and receiving them in each institution through the retention schedule. Thirdly, Japan started to operate a system in regard to electronic records transfer and preservation in 2011. In order to prepare for it, each administrative agency has used EDMS in creation and management of electronic records. A Guideline for the Standard Format and Media released by the Cabinet Office in 2010 is also for the transfer of electronic records to the Electronic Records Archives of Japan. In future, it is necessary to conduct further studies on activities of the records and archives management community in Japan, relating to long-term preservation and use of electronic records.

In this study, we propose a logical transfer method of records using cloud storage to solve the integrity problem of digital component, which is generated when electronic records are transferred from the electronic record production system to the record management system. This method, which produces electronic records using cloud storage from the production stage and transfers them to the archives, has the following advantages. First, as a record management method, it can be effectively applied in public institutions by utilizing cloud computing technology, which has been the trend recently. Second, unlike the existing method of copying and physically transferring electronic records, the proposed method can reduce various risk factors that may occur in the transfer of electronic records by logically transferring the storage. Third, the method can prevent errors of the digital component according to the physical transfer of the electronic record; hence, the integrity of the electronic record can be guaranteed. Fourth, administrative power and cost that are wasted because of the electronic transfer of electronic records can be reduced.

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the research topics of the Journal of Korean Society of Archives and Records Management, which is one of the main academic journals of archival research in Korea. To achieve this objective, a total of 875 author-assigned Korean keywords were collected from the 390 papers published from the first issue (i.e., 2001) to the current issue (i.e., 2017) in the target journal. The collected keywords were analyzed using NetMiner V.4 to discover their frequency, degree centrality, and betweenness centrality. Results showed that "Archival Information Services," "Electronic Records," "Historical Archives," "Archivists," and "National Archives of Korea" showed the most frequently conducted research topics; whereas "Archival Information Services," "Electronic Records," "Evaluation," "Locality Archives," and "Retrieval System" were the most influencing research topics. On the other hand, "Archival Information Services," "Archivists," "Electronic Records," "Archive," and "Metadata" showed the most widely intervening research topics in this research.

In the digital environment, electronic records are explosively increasing, but there are little concerns on how to effectively manage and service. On-Nara 2.0 and record management system, the information system of records production and management stage, are being developed and distributed on the cloud base. Archives management system requires the acquisition of new record management techniques because they need to acquire and manage various types of private records as well as public records. In this paper, we will discuss automation and intelligent technologies for archives management.
