Moon Jae-in as the government was launching new records & Archives management innovation is promoted. It was necessary to overhaul the Presidential Records & Archives Act and resolve the issues so far. The key issues include the establishment of individual presidential archives and the guarantee of access to former presidents. The current administration of presidential records is being carried out in the position of a manager (agency). The system's biggest "customers" are discussing management difficulties, even though they are former presidents. Record management should be a customer-centered information service. The "core customer" of managing presidential records is the former president. Another important problem is to separate the Presidential Archives from the National Archives to strengthen its status.

The study aims to identify the problems of the research support service in presidential archives for users who use archives for scholarly purposes. For these purposes, the study conducted a literature survey. Moreover, this study compared and analyzed the content of presidential archives' Web sites between the U.S. and Korea. In addition, we examined the interviews via e-mail with an archivist working in the presidential archives in the U.S. and gained the materials from the presidential archives in Korea through a request of information disclosure. It was found that six improvements were considered by academic users to meet their needs. Consequently, based on the analysis, a research support services framework consisting of a service category was developed. With the proposed services, the academic utilization of presidential archives can be facilitated.

This paper examines urgent issues of establishing the presidential library in relation to the current standing of the Government Archives and Records Service. As government records have been tremendously accumulated every year, the Government Archives and Records Service will be full within three years, which indicates that the constructing of new storage repositories is an emergent issue. In addition, presidential records are one of the most significant and influential public properties for preserving historical value and interpretation at the national level. Some serious concerns relating to the presidential library are raised for consideration. First of all, it is compulsory to preserve presidential records and to construct the presidential library. Second, the presidential library performs a variety of functions including the acquisition, preservation, access, reference, research, education, and display of presidential records as well as exhibits of public activities and administration personally and in public during the president' regime. A new presidential library should function as both of a depository and museum of presidential records through systematic arrangement and display. Thus a new repository of the Government Archives and Records Service should be co-constructed with the presidential library within the same boundary. Third, a newly constructed presidential library should be at least double- or triple- sized more than estimated in order to contain all related holdings. Fourth, to take custody of public records across the legislature, judiciary and administration, the Government Archives and Records Service should be directed by an official at the level of vice-minister and upgraded to an independent office such as "National Archives and Records Administration." Fifth, the presidential library's location and surrounding environments should be selected with careful planning.

Presidential records which have produced during a presidency as a national center are the evidence of the presidency and main historical records. We have the responsibility to establish fundamental systems to produce such main historical records and to manage such main historical records which could help people and history to judge the presidency based upon the evidence of their activities. The historical appraisal could be achieved not by memory but by evidence. A draft of a proposed law on the management of presidential records which includes the establishment of presidential libraries for the presidential records Mecca is being moored at the National Assembly now. The presidential library is to be considered as a multi-functional national institution which is carrying out the role as an Archives, Museums and Center for the education. In addition, it is imperative for a presidential library to provide user-oriented services to enrich the usability and the value of records, recognizing the change of administration paradigm from a supplier-oriented system to a customer-oriented system. This dissertation, in order to develop presidential library service programs focusing on customers rather than the convenience of administration, reviewed programs of the U.S. presidential libraries as a developed case and proposes guidelines and applicable samples for the development of the Korean presidential library service programs.

The purpose of this study is to examine the management status of domestic presidential SNS records and to propose a management plan. Thus, the researchers examined cases of SNS records management in foreign countries, interviewed records officers in Presidential Archives, as well as conducted a status analysis of the presidential SNS records management status and the SNS accounts of former and current presidents. Based on the analysis, the current state of the domestic and international situations was analyzed. The researchers subsequently interviewed the staff in charge and found out what the problems in the current presidential SNS records management were. To solve the problems reflecting the characteristics of SNS records, a collection, management, and service plan was thus proposed. This study is meaningful in that it tried to discuss the management of the presidential SNS records and could be used as basic research of presidential SNS records.

This study investigates and analyzes the 16th Presidential records (record management secretary's office) from a record-recognition perspective and, based on the results, suggests the Presidential record management plan. To this end, the function of the records management secretary's office was first analyzed, and the 16th Presidential records transferred to the Presidential Archives were reviewed from a general perspective. Next, the nature of the records was investigated in a deductive, top-down manner by quantitatively analyzing the "production system type," "preservation period," "reason for determining the retention period," "management department," "electronic record type," "production year," etc., focusing on the "records file/item," "unit task," and "function." Finally, the characteristics and problems revealed during the record analysis were summarized. Based on the analysis results, a plan was proposed to redesign Presidential record management for the "reorganization" and "service" parts of the records.

Accordingly, it aims to take an educational role in history and democracy based on records, providing free research space for researchers, and supporting research through records. This report introduces examples of the Kim Dae-jung Library's representative archival information service, an affiliated institution of educational institutions and private presidential archives, and presents the future tasks of the presidential archives.
