In 1999, "Records management of public instituition Act" was enacted. Since then, records management system has been developed, but the level of records management is still low in reality. This article is to present suggestions in policy of national records management. To flourish national records management, 'governance' should be performed during policy propulsion and National Archives of Korea should be politically neutral and independent. In addition, records management system needs to be wide-spread, many different archives should be established, also archives should have archivists. Not only that, managers of archives need to cooperate and thrive with autonomy, decentralization of authority, and solidarity.

Many government agencies have used domestic deacidification equipments to stabilize archives; however, no agency has verified archives' current preservative status. We studied the Nara National Archives' documents that had treated by mass deacidification process from 2001 to 2012, in order to examine the documents' preservative status and how efficient the mass deacidification has been. Approximately 1% of total 112,970 Nara National Archives' documents treated by mass deacidification were randomly selected and evaluated on their current measure of acidity and color change. Regardless of the kinds of document material, a wide range of pH level was found. Especially those documents that were treated by mass deacidification equipment after 2006 showed acidic conditions that were less than pH 6.8 level. Those documents were probably not treated properly by deacidifying chemical because of tightly packing style. The current measures of acidity and color records will be useful as a reference for future evaluations of further decay of the documents. It was the first study to evaluate acidity and color conditions of Nara National Archives' documents treated by mass deacidification equipment. We concluded that when using mass deacidification equipment, archives should not be loaded tightly in order for them to be fully in contact with deacidifying chemical.

To complement the limitations of the public relations method performed currently in archives and serve various users, a new approach to public relations are needed. Recently, as the size of the webtoon market has expanded, public relations using webtoons continues to heighten in enterprises and public institutions. Therefore, this study proposed a method for public relations using brand webtoon as a means of promoting the archives. This study was focused on the National Archives of Korea. Thus, based on the analysis of roles, service, contents, and users of the National Archives of Korea, this study suggested production plans to increase the promotional effect in brand webtoons and strategies such as viral marketing, the brand story strategy, and the one-source, multi-use (OSMU) strategy.

It is the responsibility of the government organization in the field of history and archives to control preproduction of records and their production sphere. Moreover, it should also manage all kinds of archives and presidential records as its function is to manage and share public information, and carry out compilations of historical records. With this, this study explains how having all these functions would make the ideal reorganization of the government. It should correspond to principle of Government's reorganization such as transparency, responsibility, communication. A plan for reformation needs two-track approach. I would like to propose the establishment of the 'Ministry of National Archives' or the 'National Memory Committee' at the organization that is in charge of national records and memory management. It means that the National memory isn't limited to public sphere. In terms of Total archives, the organizations should contain the whole community's memory. This organization should be formed independently.

This study aims to analyze the features and problems of the Korea's national records archiving system established in 1999, as well as to suggest the countermeasures. First, in Korea, permanent records are archived by the administration, legislature and judicature separately. However, around the world there are very few cases where a national archives controls the records of the administration alone, whereupon there is the need to set up an integrated archiving system regarding the records of the administration, legislature and judicature. Second, in Korea, the records archiving system leans too much towards the centrally-controlled system, which is urgent to be solved. 'Record Management Act' stipulates that all the public records, including nonpermanent ones, shall be managed by National Archives, wherewith National Archives is overburdened. Hereat, it may be desirable for National Archives to manage very important records that deserve to be archived permanently and for Record Center to archive other records, which needs to be made into law.

This thesis aims to study the founding process and operation of the prefectural archives of Japan and to put that knowledge to the founding regional archives in Korea. Now 28 among 47 Prefectural Governments in Japan have founded and operated the prefectural archives. While Kyoto Prefectural Library and Archives, Nagano Prefectural Museum of History, Gifu Prefectural Virtual Museum of History, The Archives of Hyogo Prefectural Government, Ibaraki Prefectural Museum of History and Hukushima Prefectural Archives are on the type of Prefectural Museum of History, the rest of them are on the type of Archives. The Prefectural Museum of History in Japan has a complex function as the museum, the library, and the archives. But the Prefectural Museum of History seems to be a sort of transient phenomenon to Archives. The reason which Prefectural Museum of History can not develop into the Archives is not so much owing to financial difficulties as lack of understanding on the function of Archives. The thesis shows founding process of each prefectural archives. Especially, the case study on the Kanagawa Prefectural Archives, Okinawa Prefectural Archives was arranged by the detailed data investigation. Comparing with other prefectures, these three prefectural archives have a system in the collection and arrangement process of current official records, paleography and many other materials, and construct records management system with institutionalizing accession, arrangement, and opening of official records by regulations, rules and so forth. But because of historical background and character in each region, the difference may exist in the founding process of three prefectural archives. Before central archival institution, National Archives of Japan, is founded, the prefectural archives have been founded at each region and they have gained relatively independent status so that decentralism in the system of managing records could be possible. And the private historical organizations had many influences on the founding process of National Archives of Japan. Of course the Japanese Archives system may have many differences from Korean regional archives. While Japan established Archives institute for itself with localism, Korea has not settled the system of self-government still. Moreover, financial difficulties on founding regional archives and lack of understanding of the Archives remained in Korea. And yet with regard to the founding regional archives in Korea, the case of operation and founding process of prefectural archives of Japan may be of great value.

The National Archives of Korea(NAK) has arranged and operated 'Guidelines on Operating Copyright for Archives' and 'Regulations on Operating Reference Room' to protect the copyright for archives. However, the Guidelines and the Regulations only provide application to the Copyright Act and principles on internal managing copyright without presenting copyright issues for each type of archives. Therefore, additional detailed guidelines have to be arranged for the users to access to copyright issues easily by presenting them the standards of judgement or principles on copyright issues for each type of the archives to facilitate the use of archives collected already. We also need to define the details on Copyright Act and Moral Rights Act to collect archives. This study is an prior analysis for that purpose. Lively discussion and way of operation in an aspect of the copyright in relation to private records should be sought in the future.

The cloud records management system has the following problems. It has not been accompanied by a change in the legislative system and has not been exploited the benefits of cloud technology. In addition, it has not been considered for changes after system construction. To solve this problem, the contents of the Fourth Industrial Revolution should be reflected in the improvement of the legislative system and the long-term development strategy of the national archives system. A fundamental review of the records management system is also required, and in the process of e-government, the National Archives should act as a pan-government records management control tower.

The first organization of the 'national Archives of France' was defined by a law voted during the Revolution, the law of June 25, 1794 which is remained into force during nearly two century-until with the law of January 3, 1979. This law is regarded as the text founder of the national Archives of France, mainly thanks to its article 48 which posed the principle of the free communicability of the whole of the documents of national Archives of France. But it had initially as an aim to organize and frame sortings of the documents gathered in great number since the beginning of the French revolution. Its principal provision does not leave astonish us: it envisaged a separation between the documents to be eliminated, the useful documents has the administration, only intended to be preserved in national Archives of France?, and the documents interesting for the history, which were intended for the national Library.

The purpose of the enactment of the 'Law on the National Archives of Korea' should be to secure the accountability and to shape up the improved governance system in the field of records and archival management, which will contribute to the strengthening of democracy in records management and eventually to the widening of the democratic progress in Korea. On the basis of the above recognition and by way of notion called 'horizontal accountability', this paper suggests the way to secure the National Archives of Korea's independency. And the way to reorganize the National Records Management Committee based on the pluralism and the 'multi-layered' governance system is also investigated. One of the main directions in the suggested law should be for the autonomy and transparency in the operation of the National Archives of Korea. This paper tries drawbacks and limitations of the 'Bill on the National Archives of Korea' introduced to the National Assembly last year, and suggests the alternatives as wel lto get further forward with related discussion.
