The purpose of this study is to analyze how the "memory approach" has affected archival methodology and activities, and suggest the directions of archival activities in each field. Although there have been many discussions on the memories and collective memories in Archival Studies, it is necessary to analyze them more practically from the viewpoint of archival activism. In this study, the memory approaches in archival discourse are classified into four categories in terms of archival activism; i) the role of archives as social memory organizations, ii) the memory struggle for finding out the truth of the past, iii) archival activities of restorative justice for people who suffer from trauma memories after social disasters and human rights violations, and iv) the memory process of communities' archiving for strengthening community identities. The meaning and issues are analyzed for each category, and the practice based on archival expertise and political and social practices are examined together as necessary competencies for archival activism.

This Study is to propose the archival description in accordance with the paradigm shift of the archival science. The academic world of archival science in North America treated the electric record in 1990 and the authenticity of electric record in the beginning of 2000, the flow of Study recognizing the microscopic and the cultural discussion appeared recently. This may be called the paradigm shift of archival science. This may be according to the influence of the informatization and the technology. However, the community archives, the everyday life archives recognizing the microscopic and the cultural discussion, etc. Namely, the everyday life, the village, the community archives are the effort to leave the excluded and the neglected voices from the existing discussion of archival science on record. However, the currently existing methodology to archive the community archives based on the perception of these switched recognition is limited. Especially the description of the various standards being used in the public territory is being adapted as it is. The characteristic and the individuality of the community and the community archive cannot be reflected through the archival description standard. We should understand the community archive in accordance with the paradigm shift, need the archival description method capable of expressing this suitably. The post-standard not the existing archival description method has been necessary. This should be carried out together in accordance with the view point of the paradigm shift and the view point of the objective and the direction of community. Hence, first the archival description and the paradigm shift have been examined theoretically and the archival description of community archive being operated currently has been analyzed. The archival description is to be proposed in accordance with the paradigm shift capable of calling 'the archival description of Korean Human Right' by pointing out the limit of archival description standard through the analysis and further by investigating the archival description of the fraternity archive project.

In this article I tried to take an overview of the training course of Chinese Archivists. The emphasis of this work lies on the development of the Archives College of Renmin. Univ. of China after the Cultural Revolution. It includes also the development in 1950's and early '60's. An overview of the Chinese development in 1950's and early '60's will be helpful for the development of Korean archival system, especially in training of archivists. What is necessary above all in our today's situation is to bring some experiences from the advanced countries in this field. It can be carried out in two ways : the empirical studies of archival development in foreign countries and the systematic translation of their publications. It also needs an establishment of professional institutes for the archival studies in Korea. In fact the professional archivists are now hardly found in Korea. Those scholars working in the archival areas now are not archival specialists in their academic origin. Because of the urgent needs some scholars of related fields, i.e. history and library science, take over the roles of researchers and instructors in archival studies. It is therefore very urgent to offer the environment where the archivists are able to devote themselves to research in archival science. In conclusion, we need to pursue the studies of archives to give order to the records we find in the long history of our archival tradition. By doing so, we can develop our own archival science in the end. This project, however, needs supports from the government for the formation of policies, securement of budget and collaboration between the related agencies to pave a way for the strong foundation of Korean archival studies. Without these supports it might take much more time then that Chinese have taken for the enhancement of their own archival studies.

The government is pushing hard to realize the electronic and knowledge government. In connection with the efforts most public institutions have already started adopting the electronic document management system(EDMS), and have entered in a phase of modification of, and supplement to the system for the flow of the electronic documents among the agencies to be made possible by the month of November this year. The present situation is that the modification and supplement of EDMS are underway in the field that is unrelated to the records and archival management, what has been foreseen in the academic world of archival science. Under this circumstances the article places emphasis on the importance of the positive participation of the archivists in the development of the EDMS. To be concrete it reveals how the archival achievements can be practically applicable to the EDMS. What is particularly conspicuous in the article is the detailed description of how usefully control of record production, classification and description, evaluation and selection that are put into practice in the archival management law can be embodied in the development of the EDMS. Finally the article put emphasis on the positive exchanges and integration to bring the archival management science and computer science, archival management law and electronic government law, the archival management agencies and the agencies in charge of the electronic government together into whole to find a way for the methodical achievements of scientific archival management to be positively applicable to the electronic document management system(EDMS).

Recently in the field of archival science, a variety of documentation issues about community, everyday life, political and social movement and human rights are under discussion focusing on minorities' documentation and implementation of social justice. Those issues are especially focused on documentation about minorities and implementation of social justice. These Archival Activism is evolved from academic and social influence since the late 1960s rather than recent changes. The recent Archival Activism is under way in various fields and forms that encompasses both aspects of the mainstream/fringe groups over the world beyond organizations and areas. 4.16 disaster put archival community in korea many challenges. Now is the time to approach with reflections on records of evidence and heal. This study seeks contemporary documentation's assignments through the documentation case of Occupy Wall Street Movement. Firstly, it examines on concept of Archival Activism, origins, and developments.

This study aimed to distinguish categories of archival information and identify properties by their detail types, so that the various forms of architectural heritage information generated can be managed based on their attributes and characteristics. First, the specific uses of terms in the legal system were reviewed and their associated concepts specifically defined. "Architectural heritage" was defined as architecture belonging to the category of tangible cultural heritage as designated by law, and "architectural heritage archival information" was defined as all kinds of material expressed by electronic processing of the actual status for preservation and management. Next, the production status of architectural heritage archival information was reviewed in relation to the legal system. This confirmed that relevant legal systems were organized hierarchically and that various types of archival information were generated in a single project. Furthermore, it was confirmed that even archival information produced in the same form contained differing contents depending on the specific purpose and method, and that there was no classification by which to cover all archival information. Finally, it was also confirmed that detailed drawing types could be categorized according to the purpose of production and the target of the records. Based on the findings of this review, the type and properties of archival information were presented as the primary classification criteria, and the architectural heritage archival information was divided into 6 general types and 27 detailed types. Specifically, the linguistic form, dimension, temporal property, and graphic form of archival information were applied as criteria for the classification of general types, and the target, production purpose, production method of archival information, and content characteristics of archival information properties of archival information by type were comprehensively reviewed.

Archival objects produced in relation to the activities of public institutions hold the inexpressible symbolism, historical value, and esthetical value as well in that the values of display and reuse of archives materials in the future are high as figures. The revised law of Archives Act in 2007 has provided a foundation for managing the archival objects in every public organization, by also including archival objects into the category of archives produced and registered in relation to their works. Although it could be seen as a reforming will to aim at the differential approach from the past to recognize the archival objects as records and make the managing will documented, it is still in an unprepared state to define the concepts on archival objects and to have methods to systematically manage and preserve them. Thus this paper has researched on the type classification of archival objects and their evaluation, as way of developing the methods for the management system for archival objects. On the premise that it should be preceded by clear definitions of concepts and distinctive understanding of their types first in order to build up the management system for archival objects, definition and type classification of the archival object have been attempted, based on the actual research materials and the current relevant laws. In addition, this study has analyzed the characteristics of selecting archival objects in order to search for which one they should obtain and manage among archival objects produced and reused in relation to the works of public institutions. On the basis of this, the plans for the national selection system and provision of selecting criteria for the subjects of permanent preservation have been suggested in this study.

Appraisal is a basic archival function that analyzes values of records and determines the eventual disposal of records based upon their archival values. In Korea, this appraisal concept introduces in earnest through Public Records and Archives Act(PRA, 공공기관의 기록물관리에관한법률) with which Korean record management systems settle inflexibly. In theoreical and methodological area, therefore, it is necessary to analyze appraisal system in this Act with it in archival science. In PRA Act, appraisal system is founded on the Tables of Transaction for Records Scheduling(TRS, 기록물분류기준표) through which disposal activities of all records are definited in a concrete form. In this system, selection of archival materials which has been recognized as a important function of record center is carried out by record creators and archival institutions; Primary value between semi-currenty and non-currenty are reflected at the same time. In view of values, this appraisal system intends to separate reasonably consideration for continuing utility of achives from current use of records throughout agencies duration. Ultimately, appraisal based upon TRS makes up not separated management course but organic courses reflecting the Continuum of Care. Of course, this appraisal system makes up the deficiency partially. TRS regarded as 'mainboard' of current appraisal system will have to be enacted elaborately. And appraisal strategies of electronic records must set up in detail in PRA Act and TRS. Lastly, arrangement and description concepts immanent in TRS will have to supplement in archival institutions.

This article argued for the need for a transformation of archives system and archival science through a review of the archival circles' discussion of dismantling and reconstructing the current national archive system. By sharply contrasting the cases of civil society 'archiving activities' with the cases of 'national archive sites', we attempted to present solutions to the current archive system from a micro perspective. In this process, the need for a shift in archival research methodology centered on archival materials was derived in relation to the deepening of awareness of archival information organization and hierarchical description to ensure archive accessibility and the meaning of policy shift.
