This year marks the 20th anniversary of the enactment of legislation related to records in Korea. The Public Records Management Act of Korea deals with the entire process from production to classification, transfer, and utilization for all records. Recently, the National Archives of Korea is in the process of discussing amending laws to implement records management innovations. It is necessary to take a look at the cases of advanced countries abroad, which have a long tradition of Archival management and focus on preservation records. In this study, Germany's "Federal Archives Act" was targeted. Germany is regarded as a country with a long tradition of managing preservation records. Especially, we have something in common that has experienced the history of division like our country. For the research results, each clause of Germany's "Federal Archives Act" was to be analyzed to understand Germany's Archival Management System. As a country that has experienced the division of Germany and unification, it maintains Archival management after unification. Therefore, we drew on the characteristics of Germany's Archival management law and system and studied what implications could be given to our country.

In South Korea the records management system nationwide has been developed based on 'the Act on public agencies' records management' which was first enacted in 1999. Furthermore, 'the Act on public records management 2006' has shifted a paradigm of records management to the digital records world. In this context, the records management standard, KS X ISO 15489 has a profound significance. Based on the principle of that there should not be any conflict between nationwide records management laws and standard, this study explores a meaning of the standard and discusses contradictive elements between the laws and standard. On the basis of the main contents of the standard's five categories, the study analyzes the laws in comparison with the standard. As a result, the study provides remedies for the current records management law and discusses a prospect of records management strategies in the 21st Century.

The ultimate goal of preserving and maintaining the records is to use them practically. The effective use of records should be supported by the reasonable recordskeeping systems and access standards. In this report, I examined the Korean laws and administrative systems related to the public records access issues. After I pointed out major problems of the access laws, the Government Information Opening Act (GOIA), and the problems in practices, I suggested some alternatives for the betterment of the access system. The GIOA established "eight standards of exemption to access" not to open some information to protect national interests and privacy. The Public Records Management Act (PRMA) applies to the archives transferred to "professional archives." The two laws show fundamental differences in the ways to open the public records to public. First, the GIOA deals with the whole information (the records) that public institutions keep and maintain, while the PRMA deals with the records that were transferred to the Government Archives. Second, the GIOA provides with a legal procedure to open public records and the standards to open or not to open them, while the PRMA allows the Government Archives to decide whether the transferred records should be opened or not. Third, the GIOA applies to record producing agencies, while the PRMA applies to public archival institutions. One of the most critical inadequacies of the PRMA is that there are no standards to judge to open the archives through reclassification procedure. The GIOA also suggests only the type of information that is not accessible. It does not specify how long the records can be closed. The GARS does not include the records less than 30 years old as its objects of the reclassification. To facilitate the opening of the archives, we need to revise the GIOA and the PRMA. It is necessary to clearly divide the realms between the GIOA and the PRMA on the access of the archives. The PRMA should clarify the principles of the reclassification as well as reclassifying method and exceptions. The exemption standards of the GIOA should be revised to restrict the abuse of the exemption clauses, and they should not be applied to the archives in the GARS indiscreetly and unconditionally.

The amount of audio-visual records production is growing rapidly and its formats are various. However, the audio-visual records are hardly managed and transferred. There are four different problems for checking how to transfer and manage audio-visual records of the central government: production and register, management and utilization, transfer, and dedicated program management. For solving these problems, the study proposes the development of process tools for audio-visual records, such as dedicated processes and S/W; the standardization of audio-visual records' management; the changes of audio-visual records officer's recognition; the need to educate dedicated audio-visual records managers; the recruitment of professionals dedicated to audio-visual records in the National Archives of Korea. Additionally, it is necessary to make an effort into practical use and preservation of audio-visual records.

The records management system in Korea has a short history of about 20 years. However, the system is relatively stable. This compressed development has been mainly in public records. This is because the laws and regulations related to private records management were insufficient. Fortunately, Two local permanent records management institutions have recently been established. Therefore, interest in the management of local records has been growing. The Management of private records is an important part of the management of local records. The collection of private records is based on ordinances established by local governments. This study aims to analyze the ordinances of local governments, which are the legal basis for the collection and management of private records.

Previously, the International Council of Archives (ICA) provided the General International Standard Archival Description (ISAD(G)) and the International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families (ISAAR(CPF)) for the systematic archival description by the Committee on Best Practice and Standards. Recently, the new conceptual model and ontology, which is called "Record in Context" (RIC), is being developed by the ICA Experts Group on Archival Description (EGAD). For developing the new archival standard, ICA EGAD has referenced the archival standards of Australia, Spain, and Finland, as well as the FRBRoo integrated model of the museum and library fields and the legacy ICA's descriptive standards. This study, therefore, examined these international trends on the archival descriptive standards and derived a number of suggestions for improvement. As a result, descriptive standards are changing from the guidelines for the standardized archival description to the upper conceptual model and ontology for the flexible archival description and sharing of archival metadata. There is a need to adapt the change of the information environment and promote cooperation among cultural heritage institutions.
