The purpose of this study was to identify the records management system through the United States Records Management Act. The focus was on dividing its record management system into a state with the federal government, and looking at the operations. State records management does not cover all states, so it cited cases in Wisconsin and California where the systems are thought to have been best overhauled. The characteristics of the United States' recordkeeping system in this study are likely to be summarized in three ways: independence and autonomy of records management are guaranteed, many exchanges with cultural institutions in the region, and a historical society that is greatly influenced by them.

How should the value of presidential records be evaluated and discarded? Currently, the evaluation of presidential records is operated in a dual system that evaluates the value of 7 types based on the characteristics of presidential records as public records while considering the uniqueness of presidential records. Once again, we have to think about 'where does the value of presidential records come from, and how can we evaluate this value'. In this paper, I would like to examine the value and evaluation of presidential records by understanding the characteristics of the domestic presidential archives evaluation system and organizing the problems and issues of the current evaluation system. In addition, the purpose of this study is to examine the evaluation system of presidential records stipulated in the Presidential Records Management Act of the United States and to analyze its implications for the domestic presidential records evaluation system.

This paper examines copyright problems of government works which take up a considerable part of public records. The provisions related to government works of the copyright laws of United States and United Kingdom are examined for the purpose of comparison with similar provisions in copyright act of Korea. The copyright act of Korea protects more strongly government works than U.K and U.S. therefore is an obstacle for use of the works. Also websites of governments and national archives are examined for their copyright policies in the process of service of government works. This paper found that the copyright policies of korean governments' official websites and the National Archives and Records Service limits free use of government works. This study proposed that the provision of definition for government works need to be added to the copyright act of Korea and the provision 7 should be revised. And open access license V.2 which was developed by Korean government should be applied to government works.

With the recent advancement of information and communication technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, and 5G, data is being produced and digitized in unprecedented amounts. As a result, data has emerged as a critical resource for the future economy, and overseas countries have been revising laws for data protection and utilization. In Korea, the 'Data 3 Act' was revised in 2020 to introduce institutional measures that classify personal information, pseudonymized information, and anonymous information for research, statistics, and preservation of public records. Among them, it is expected to increase the added value of data by combining pseudonymized personal information, and to this end, "the Expert Data Combination Agency" and "the Expert Data Agency" (hereinafter referred to as the Expert Data Processing Agency) system were introduced. In comparison to these domestic systems, we would like to analyze similar overseas systems, and it was recently confirmed that the Vermont government in the United States enacted the first "Data Broker Act" in the United States as a measure to protect personal information held by data brokers. In this study, we aim to compare and analyze the roles and functions of the "Expert Data Processing Agency" and "Data Broker," and to identify differences in designated standards, security measures, etc., in order to present ways to contribute to the activation of the data economy and enhance information protection.

Although we expect the Records Freezing system to be introduced through the revision of the Public Records Management Act, the system alone has limitations in preventing illegal disposal of records. If some records have already been destroyed illegally, the agency should identify the reason and prepare corrective action and improvement measures to prevent the repetition of such a wrongful disposal. The purpose of this study is to analyze the NARA's inspection program for unauthorized disposal based on the "Records Management Oversight and Reporting Program" and to find implications for improving the control system of public records disposal. NARA's program is particularly effective in the prevention and post-processing of unauthorized disposal. In this study, firstly, the federal records management oversight and reporting program in the United States was investigated in the legal system. Secondly, the status of NARA's control of unauthorized disposal cases was reviewed and a case of SEC's MUI records was analyzed for showing the systematic procedure of NARA's inspection. Finally, we have summed up the implications of this program for improving NAK's control system of illegal disposal of public records.

Meeting minutes in public organizations are crucial in the process of decision making in terms of accountability of records. The purpose of this study aims to provide a set of solutions in terms of improving the creation and management of meeting minutes in context of public records. For the case studies, Government in the Sunshine Act in the United States of America, Cabinet Handbook in Australia, and the law on Public Records in Korea are comparatively analyzed. As of 2012, fifty four designated meetings for minutes are administrated with a questionnaire survey. Based on the data analyses on the case studies and responses from designated meetings, three apsects in the creation and management of minutes are proposed: appropriate laws and regulations reflecting the characteristics of meeting minutes, best practices and manuals, and training for creation.

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.

The objective of this research is to search for measures to properly respond to the greatly increasing demands of complex information disclosure. At present, South Korea makes the deployment of records managers at public institutions mandatory through the Records Act. Records disclosure goes beyond simply deciding on the revelation and private usage of records, and requires the professionalism of institutions such as task knowledge and law-related knowledge. However, most records managers lack professionalism in the task of records disclosure despite achieving such in their regular work of managing records. As a countermeasure for such issues, this research is proposing the introduction of a series of exclusive charges in records disclosure named the Government Information Specialist, which professionally manages the records disclosure of the US government. In addition, to understand the demand of such, surveys and interviews of records managers who undertake both records management and records disclosure tasks at a South Korean public institution was also conducted.
