Local governments in Korea, sixteen in total, shall establish local government archives to and manage preserve their permanent archives to comply with the Public Records Management Act amended in October 2006. National Archives of Korea(NAK) directed the local governments to recruit legally qualified archivists by the end 0f 2006 and to plan on the establishment and operation of the local government archives by the end 2007. However, none of the government archives was established by far. Government officials in NAK and the local governments raised the limits of the budget and human resources. What is more serious is that they don't concern why the archives are necessary and what missions and functions the archives should have. In this paper, I summarized the present situation and problems in establishing the local archives, and what we will do to establish normal government archives. First, local governments should establish "local government records commissions" and employ qualified archivists. The local government records commission should comprise concerned and qualified members. The records commission, as a policy and decision-making body, should make plans and implement the plans to establish the local archives, establish professional training programs to produce qualified archivists, promote local archives community activities, determine operational issues, and make a long-term development plan satisfying local demands. Second, the local government archives share existing repositories of NAK. Third, after the establishment of the archives, the local archives should perform normal records and archives management of the local governments as records acts mandate, do general records surveys and appraise the records created in the local governments. The local government archives should collect valuable local archives including private archives, and arrange and make usable them to provide access. They also promote and coordinate various cultural heritage community activities related to the local archives.

In the electronic record environment, there are discussions about the necessity of using records as information, and ISO 15489:2016 defines records as one of the information assets. In acceptance of this concept of information assets, the national archives of each country have established related policies and guidelines to actively promote information asset management. This paper intends to analyze the information asset management policies and guidelines that are established by the national archives of each country. This is to identify global trends for information assetization of records in the digital environment and derive benchmarking factors for seeking institutional establishment in Korea. To this end, the definition of records in ISO standards and related research results are analyzed to investigate the conceptual origins of information assets. Moreover, the actual cases about information asset management of the national archives of the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Australia are investigated. Based on this, the implications of overseas cases and issues to be supplemented to establish the relationship between records and information assets are presented as a part of seeking institutional establishment in Korea.

The size and speed of archives and records information have recently increased. The purpose of this study is to find the direction of archives management research in Korea through an in-depth analysis of research trends in records management in the country. We collected articles related to archives management from 1997 to 2016 from two journals related to archives management and four journals related to library and information science in Korea. The collected articles from the first and second halves of the decade were subjected to five-year cycle analysis. As a result, research on electronic records, record information services, and archiving methods of various records has been gradually improved.

Records Management Act of a country is the basis for understanding its archives management system. Germany is regarded as a country that achieved remarkable development of the system in the process of nationalism and unification based on romanticism in the 19th century. In addition, the federal and local governments enacted and operated their own laws based on the administrative system of the federal structure. Recently, the National Archives of Korea is discussing ways to improve its expertise and the system of operation in conducting national records management. Therefore, it is meaningful to analyze Germany's Records Management Act, which has a management system of long-standing historical records and examine its features. In this study, we analyzed and derived the characteristics of the Federal Records Management Act, which is the standard for the management of Federal Records in Germany.
