Collecting, archiving, and using civil records in the private sector is recognized as part of the legitimate rights that citizens should have in civil society. However, the national records management system does not have a balance between private records management and public records management, and private records are excluded from appropriate government support. Considering that civilian records cannot be restored or restored once lost or damaged, it is clear that national attention and support are needed. This study discusses the need for institutional support for private records and has two main directions for support policies: sustainable support for the revitalization and promotion of civic records culture, and within the region for the sustainable management and preservation of private records. It was identified that a stable organization and physical space support were needed for the collection and preservation of private records. And to put it into practice, the conceptual categories and current status of private records management, and the characteristics of private records management that need to be considered when establishing a private records management policy were examined.

This study examines the current status of national & public university archives management, focusing on Busan and Gyeongnam area. Because national public universities create public records, they must compulsorily execute the law, Public Records and Archives Act. However revised Public Records and Archives Act isn't reflected the peculiarity of university archives and the national and public universities are to be transferred to government archive. The records and archives of universities had better be preserved in universities themselves in order to use university member and other users. This paper points out the problem of university archives management and finalizes with some suggestions for national public university archives related to the systematic and efficient archives management.

The Records Management Act was established by the result of the National Archive reformism in 1999. However, it could not have brought high-quality changes of recording management since recording management innovation was not continuously achieved. On the other hand, in 2006 the Records Management Act was completely revised as a part of recording management innovation. The records management innovation road map is created as an agenda in order to accommodate difficulties we face in the process of the records management reformism and to establish a norm in accord with international standards, a redesign of records management process and a development of records management system so that it can react quickly to rapidly changing situations on records management paradigms. The organization of the Records Management Act was revised by compensating the defect and applying in international standards. This is due to the fact that it is the highest priority assignment to be able to help promote those sorts of innovation to provide an institutional strategy. 'The National Records Management Advancement Strategy' of National Archives in 2009 seems to be an extension of the recording management Innovation road map. Nonetheless, this strategy cannot be considered a strategy of the consecutive national records management reform since it reflects the basis of the existing policy without any assessment with respect to the records management innovation. Government-level talks on records management innovation should be regarded so as to establish a national policy on records management and to be consistent in carrying Out the policy. This research focuses on how the records management innovation road map is reflected in the Records Management Act in 2006 and how international standards are applied in the act in the national records management regime and current records management system. Furthermore, several challenges will be illustrated to overcome a limit of the Records Management Act in the process.

The purpose of this study is to examine the current situation of the judicial records management by paying attention to the lack of relevant research despite the specialty and importance of the judicial records. This study indicates there is much room for improvement. In order to define the judicial records, we first classify the kinds of judicial records produced according to the functions performed by the court. And we inspect how the records are managed and how the judicial records management is operated. We identified the legal and institutional aspects of court records management. Based on this, problems such as lack of records center, lack of records manager, and redundant management of records belonging to court records were derived. As a way to improve this, We proposed the establishment of the archives, the expansion of the records manager or archivist, and the integrated management of the records management institutions.

To be able to present research authenticity, or to cope with patent related cases or any possible law suite for intellectual property, research records management is very important for evidence as well as for providing research information. But record keeping in engineering school laboratory is in an early stage, and lacks associated rules and best practices, which makes systematic research records management hard. This research investigated current practices of engineering school laboratories, analyzed related problems, and provides systematic methods for effective engineering research records management, such as modifying related regulations and process, systematizing the process of research records management, and educating researchers and building infrastructure.
