This study explores the present state of the National Archives of Korea (NAK) and the branch archives and proposes development programs to reestablish their roles. With regard to the NAK, I discussed five issues, and for the branch archives, I discussed three. The issues on NAK are as follows: 1) Is NAK the nation's record keeper?; 2) Does NAK promote the establishment of local archives?; 3) Does NAK supervise and oversee the records management of all public institutions?; 4) What is the raison $d^{\prime}{\hat{e}}tre$ and the vision of NAK?; and 5) Does NAK perform a simple administrative service? Meanwhile, the issues on the branch archives are as follows: 1) Is the branch archives a permanent records management institution?; 2) Are the names of the branch archives appropriate?; and 3) Are the branch archives simple document warehouses?

However, the lack of understanding and consideration of the church records and archives makes it very difficult to have an actual grasp of its status and practical supports, such as budget and personnel, for records management. In this study, literature reviews and current status of domestic Protestant church archives, user survey of Saemoonan Presbyterian church and interviews of church archives records officer were carried out. Based on the results of the study, three parts of the proposed plan of the Saemoonan Presbyterian Archives were suggested.

The foremost priority for establishing record management of public institutions is strengthening the function and role of the records centers in the institutions and creating the foundation of the organization and personnel for demonstrating professionalism of archivists. However, concept of current records center is not clear and there is no substance of the organization. It also says that once a records manager is deployed, a records center is founded since appointment criteria for archivists is prone to be interpreted subjectively by the institutions. Therefore, it's time for more concrete improvements to resolve these issues. This research analyses some problems found in the system of records centers in the main office and district offices of education focusing on the environment of them. The problems are centers without substance in district offices of education because of the organization structure that all authority has been assembled in the main office, and the reality of records managers who have fallen into records discarders, etc. To solve these problems, this paper proposes changing the appointment criteria for archivists, operating an integrated records center reflecting the intensive working system, and legislating special act on record management of educational institutions.

A Collection Policy provides a direction to an archive, but also provides a foundation for developing practical measures of planning and collecting process. In terms of a Collection Policy, it enables detail collection as regulations or codes cannot be as defined as the level of collection, thus, it allows systematic and strategic approaches in collecting former presidents' records. In the case of United States, where the same presidential system exists as South Korea, although the individual Presidential Libraries and Museums have different periods of collections, the Collection Policy was implement a half century ago that is used as a foundation data for record collection. However, the Presidential Archives in South Korea do not have a Collection Policy implemented that the collection is based on 'collection regulations' and 'collection plans.' In the comparison of the Collection Policy at the Presidential Libraries and Museums in the United States and the "collection regulation" and "collection plan" at the Presidential Archives in South Korea, it shows that while the Presidential Libraries and Museums' Collection Policy applies the characteristics of individual presidents that the collection comprises the records from more than the appointed period that it includes various personal records of relating figures, events, regions, and even personal interest; the records are written in detail to the detailed scale and procedure. On the other hand, the Presidential Archives in South Korea, the records collected based on 'collection regulations' and 'collection plans' do not sufficiently apply the individual features of the former presidents that the collections remain as general and unclear. This is due to the absence of a Collection Policy that systemizes and sustains professionalism and consistency of collection plans and procedures. Hence, this study is conducted to propose collection policy implementation measures by analyzing the Collection Policy of the Presidential Libraries and Museums in the United States and identifying implications for applying individual president characteristics.
