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.

In archival discourse, social memory has been discussed for some time. Despite this, however, theoretical studies have not been prolific at all in the Korean archival community. Many Western scholars have argued that archivists should consider memory rather than records for archival preservation because the inclusiveness of the former will fill the gaps in the latter. Social memory that is shared and transmitted across generations in society would include the stories of marginalized groups of people who are often neglected in official documents. Archivists can reconstruct the diverse narratives of a variety of social groups based on social memory, and this would be their social responsibility. In this sense, it is archivists who exercise power regarding how history will be written in the future because they determine what would be preserved in archives: mainstream culture with official records or a broader spectrum of diverse stories of people in society. From this perspective, this paper intends to understand how memory is discussed in archival discourse and to review how archives and history are associated with memory in theories and practices.

Managing and preserving parliamentary archives are significant national tasks. However, in South Korea significance of these tasks have not been recognized. The first exclusive organization for parliamentary archives management was established in 2000, It took about 50 years after the first South Korean government was established in 1948. The first legislation which regulated parliamentary archives management was enacted in 2001. There were no significant improvement on the regulation for the last decade. In April 2011 it was newly revised according to the amendment of the Act on Public Records Management. In this context this study critically analyzes the regulation and discusses various issues concerning the parliamentary archives management system. It divides the history of parliamentary archives management into four periods. It also explores four contentious issues ranging from parliamentary archive designation to archivists assignment. As a result, the study presents four different aspects for developing parliamentary archives management Each aspect proposes three different phased problems respectively. Keywords: national assembly records management regulation, national assembly archives,

The archives and records management 'reform' has spreaded out through the third quarter of 2004. There are many evidences such as the change of the Office of the President's management on the record production, 'the reforming road map for the final draft on the archives and records management.' This method spreads into the Cabinets. So it is improved these rosy conditions was upgraded by the laws and regulations. We also hope that the conditions of the records management to be a higher level than before. However the actual conditions of the records management are not good comparing with the law and regulations. I think this unbalance is a serious problem. The reason of the 'failed history' during past time was caused not by the laws itself but by the indifference and negligence on the laws. The academic field and NGO have continuously required some essential suggestions on that problem; political neutrality and independent of the National Archives, the employment of specialists and the improvement of their skills etc. But these requirements have not accepted yet. This revised records management law also has not applied to the road map wholly. Even though the outward growth during that time is remarkable, we need to learn some instructions by way of the 'failed history'. Therefore our urgent task is to narrow the gap between the new system and the actual conditions based on long and short term projects.

While academic discussions and methodological researches on oral history are being progressed in Korea, its exploitation has already begun to increase with a variety of methods and approaches in the private sector. Oral history is a new method of research, as well as another process of production of archives. In order to make valuable and highly qualified archives of oral history with the application of the aforementioned conditions and characteristics, its recognition, environment, process, and method should be improved and developed. From this point of view, it is regarded as reasonable that oral history is recognized as a part of the strategy for documentation. Oral history should be produced based on common sense and reasonable judgment, applying empirical know-how rather than logic or principles because it holds a great number of characteristics, which include variable elements in the field of oral history. In addition, its process or documentation methods should be improved and developed, giving consideration to thorough exploitation. The promotion or revitalization of oral history is a signal that announces the advent of new archives and the new subjects of history at the same time. Endeavors to produce highly efficient archives of oral history are expected to be continued with the complex accumulation of empirical assets achieved at academic discussions and its fields.

The history compilation of public institutions is a type of record compilation that can be very useful record content for users. The study aims to develop a model for the history compilation of public institutions that can be flexibly applied to the task while providing practical guidance for the actual work of institutional history compilation. To achieve this goal, literature reviews, task analyses, questionnaire surveys, in-depth interviews, and expert evaluations were conducted. Based on these results, the 5 processes were organized into 20 work areas and 45 detailed work elements, which were divided into 31 essential tasks and 14 optional tasks to design the final version of an institutional history compilation model for public institutions. The model of this study can be used in public institutions to carry out tasks regarding history compilation and can also be used to establish schedules and plans by identifying overall tasks to be performed in the preparation stage for history compilation.

The actual conditions of the labor unions are primitive. First, there is no good records management regulation. At this research, I found it that most regulations of the labor unions were all the same. I think they have been copied a kind of one of originality. Second, the definition of records were very narrow, like documentary evidence. Third, the classification, filing, disposal regulations are the below level of the public institution in 1970s. Fourth, there are no standards of the records scheduling for the labor records. What kind of labor records have the historical values? I could not find, only the documentary evidence value. So, I think The actual conditions of the labor unions are primitive. I investigated the collections of the Southern Labor Archives in USA. There were many kind of records. For example, the records of regional labor unions also central labor unions, pamphlets, journals, photos, personal records, oral history, organizational records like protocols article of associations internal rules, minute books etc. Like this the collections of the Southern Labor Archives in USA are very various. But our actual conditions of the labor unions is far from that. Rather, we just have tried collected records for publishing the white papers. But this habitual practice would not be desirable. Because they must manage the records from the producing time. Mostly, 'laborer history HANNAE' were organised, and they are trying the collecting and management of the labor records. Also They are trying the computerizing, compilation. 'HANNAE' has the condition for the transformation of the labor archives. But if they want to be really, they must make the records management infra and so, should normalize the record management firstly. For example, They must be keep the standardized records management regulations, records scheduling redesigned. the developing standard model for the records management. And they have the vision for the hub of the labor archives. When coming to this, it will be realized the labor archives Now the records for the working class are disappearing. The managing the records for the labor is another labor movement. All together should join it. But I think the supporting of the archival science research colleagues will be the essential part.

With the movement for complete liquidation of the part history began during participatory government, a special law for the liquidation of the past history was enacted and committees related to the past history have been established. Works related to the past history has relatively smoothly progressed even if there have been many obstacles, but as the duration for the special law reached its final point, committees related the past history came to the fork of a road. This study reflects on this reality and focuses on measures for application of the records collected by committees related to the past history and in this way, establish and selected the record information contents was established and selected. The users of the information was classified into professors, students, and history researchers and Committee for the Inspection of Damages by Compulsory Mobilization under Japanese Imperialism, Committee for the Inspection of Japan Collaborators, and Truth and Reconciliation Commission were selected for the committees related to the past history to establish the contents.
