Abstract

This study aims to analyze how the concept of legal evidence has influenced the principles of records management and investigate its meaning and limitations from the perspective of archives. To this end, it outlined how the methodologies of judging the trustworthiness of records as evidence have changed from Roman Law to modern legislation. In addition, the archival meaning of the historical development was analyzed in the following aspects; i) What was the main framework applied to judge the trustworthiness of records? ii) What characteristics did they think records as legal evidence should have? iii) What types of records were the main management targets, and how did they recognize the relationship between records and reality? Based on these analyses, the meaning and limitations of the records management that values legal evidence were presented.

이 연구는 법적 증거의 개념이 기록관리의 원칙에 어떤 영향을 미쳤는지 분석하고 그 의미와 한계를 정리하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위하여 우선 로마법전에서 현대 법제에 이르기까지 증거로서 기록의 신빙성을 판단하는 방법론이 어떻게 변화해 왔는지를 개괄하였다. 또한 이러한 역사적 전개과정에 대한 기록학적 의미를 다음과 같은 측면에서 분석해 보았다. 첫째, 법적 증거로서 기록의 신빙성을 판단하기 위하여 적용한 주된 방법론은 무엇이었는지 시대별로 살펴보았다. 둘째, 법적 증거로 인정받을 수 있는 기록이 갖추어야 할 특성 혹은 품질은 무엇이라고 보았는지를 살펴보았다. 신빙성, 진본성, 진실성, 신뢰성, 정확성 등과 같은 특성이 해석되고 기록의 증거능력 판단의 기준으로 채택되는 과정을 살펴보았다. 셋째, 기록에 대한 인식과 함께 당시에 주요 관리대상으로 삼은 기록의 유형도 살펴보았다. 시대별 방법론의 배경을 이해하는 데에 도움이 된다고 보았기 때문이다. 마지막으로 법적 증거 기반의 기록관리가 갖는 의미와 한계를 제시하였다.
