In modem day Korea, the amount of records containing data, statistic etc are increasing dramatically. However, our country neglects to deal with these archives which include fields such as culture. Thus government documents, even modem documents less than 50 years old, are fading. becoming damaged and acidic. The purpose of this study is to research factors for prolongment the life of archival records, especially papers. Firstly, we want to maintain the document's original quality, which is a PH between 7 to 8.5, permanently. Secondly, our objective is to permanently maintain the records in a scientific environment. Thirdly, to execute proper repair methods by conservators. Permanent quality refers to the maintenance of a PH between 7 and 8.5 in a scientific environment whereby regulations are in effect to control the environment. These factors include constant temperature and humidity, breakors of various lights, Stable storage facilities which are fire resistent.
