RFID technology that is one of the ways to enhance productivity and competitiveness across diverse sectors of IT, is being hailed as a technology that replaces the bar code system and brings more convenience to the system. RFID system have been already applied to libraries, and archive, and is expected to bring advancements in the development of more effective records management systems. However, the system is still in the initial stage of the introduction, and it has been difficult to introduction because of trivial problems and unsafe elements, and studies have not been conducted to identify the detailed problems of the system. So, In this study, conducted interviews and surveys of executives of archive who operate the RFID based records management system. Based on this, we found the operational status of the RFID based records management system operating in the current archive, and the problems in the RFID based records management system. In conclusion, we suggest improvements in efficient operation methods.

It is not an overstatement that nowadays electronic mails are communicated more frequently as well as conveniently than phones and facsimiles, not only in routine life hot also in business transactions. Also, it is evident that emails will be used more and more as a communication method between internal and external organizations. If the information transferred and received via emails takes a role of business records, it is no wonder that emails should be uniformly managed as public records. Currently, however, specific policies or guidelines for the management of email records are not available, nor do most of public employees realize that emails are the actual records of the organization. In fact, the three research methods have been used for this study in the purpose of the establishment of email records management scheme. First of all, bibliographic research has been conducted in an effort to describes the definition and types of email records indicated in the guidelines of each nation, as well as the differences from the transitory email messages. Secondly, email management guidelines and policies of public institutions of England, The United States, Australia, and Canada, so-called the advanced countries of the records management, have been analyzed to examine the advanced examples of email management. In order to manage email records effectively, the functional requirements - capture, classification, storage, access, tracking, disposition, and role and responsibility were categorized in this thesis, based on the ISO 15489. As the designs of these foreign guidelines vary one another, common factors of them were extracted to be included in the realm of the seven stages. Lastly, this thesis has analyzed characteristics of the email system within the Electronic Document Management System of existing administrative institutions. Also, it has examined the overall environment of the email records management of public institutions and sought out its improvement. In essence, focused on the crucial factors on email management drawn out from the email management guidelines of foreign nations and the analysis of the policies, this thesis proposes an email records management scheme for Korean public intuitions, as well as an email management model suitable for forthcoming e-government era.

Registration and description of records are important elements of processing which provide with the background information of production of records and business-related information. They also enable to search and use the records. In this paper, I examined the Korean registration and description system defined in the Public Records Management Act which directs the records creating agency to register records in creating offices and directs the "professional archives" to make "basic registrations" and "detailed registrations" of the records. In the analysis and comparison of two different registration and description systems with the known international standards of records and archives management, such as ISO15489 and ISAD(G), I intended to evaluate the Korean records and archives management system and suggested recommendations for the renovation of the Korean recordskeeping system. Despite we have unique office business procedures and the culture of officialdom, and despite we have developed our system based on the established business procedures and office culture, it would be preferable to adopt or follow the international standards and established best practices. After the comparative analysis, I recommended some innovations in the filed of registration and description. For instance, in the basic registration. we would better to install an item of "simple contents summary." We may also need the multiple-level description. The fonds level description and the series level description should be introduced to our archival automated management system. We need to establish a Korean standard of description adopting the rules of the ISAD(G) and ISAAR(CPF). Essential requirements for electronic records management, such as contextual and structural information, should be incorporated in the new standard. Documentation of records disposition also should be reinforced to guarantee the authenticity of records and to ensure control of the records. To implement the recommendations for the standard, we need to amend the Public Records Management Act and its Regulations and Rules. Also it is imperative to redesign the GARS integrated archival automated management system.

The system for reporting record production has been operated to collect and transfer the public records adequately since the enactment of the Public Records Management Act in 1999. The Act, which was revised in 2007, regulates automated reporting methods in which the production reporting files are generated in the records creation systems and transferred to the records management systems. However, only one type of record is being notified electronically among seven types, which should be notified under the Act. The remaining six types of records are laboriously reported using complicated templates. Furthermore, the current working electronic notification mechanism is also causing various errors mainly because of inadequate specifications. This study analyzes the causes of failure of the electronic notification through the electronic records systems and suggests some policies for its improvement.

The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is a relatively quiet latecomer to the traditional archives of the Western world. Although the United States lacks a long history of organized public records·archives management, it has developed a modern system optimized for the American historical context. This system focuses on the systematic management and preservation of the vast amount of modern records produced and collected during the tumultuous 20th century. As a result, NARA has established a modern archival system that is optimized for the American historical context. The U.S. public records·archives management system is based on the principle that records·archives are the property of the American people and belong to the public. This concept originated during the British colonial era when records were used to safeguard the rights of the colonies as self-governing citizens. For Americans, records and archives have long been a symbol of the nation's identity, serving as a means of protecting individual freedoms, rights, and democracy throughout the country's history. It is natural, therefore, that American life and history should be documented, and that the recorded past should be managed and preserved for the nation's present and future. The public records·archives management system in the United States is the result of a convergence of theories, practices, lessons learned, and ideas that have been shaped by the country's history, philosophies, and values about records, and its unique experience with records management. This paper traces the origins of records and archives in the United States in a historical context to understand the organic relationship between American life and records. It examines the process of forming a modern public records management system that is both uniquely American and universal to the American context without falling into the two forms of traditions that reflect the uniqueness of American history.

In the Republic of Korea, which has adopted a strong president-centered system as a political system, comprehensive personnel verification of work ability, reputation, and misconduct for positions where the president has personnel rights is not only fundamental to the administration of the country, but is also very important for maintaining the democratic system. As the records containing the personnel verification process produced during this process also has a wide range of data on important people in the country, they themselves are very important national-level information, and there is a great possibility that they will be used as useful materials for studying current national management in future generations. Therefore, it is assumed that after the enactment of the "Act on the Management of Presidential Records" in 2007, Senior Secretary for Civil Affairs of the Office of the President, which were responsible for the personnel verification, designated a wide range of personnel verification records as presidential designated records and transferred them to the Presidential Archives. However, with the launch of the 20th government, the agency responsible for personnel verification changed from Senior Secretary for Civil Affairs of the Office of the President to the "Personnel Information Management Team" of the Ministry of Justice from June 2022, a major change occurred in the personnel verification process that had been maintained and the preservation of related records. This paper examined what personnel verification records are and how they have been preserved and managed, and proposed what issues have arisen at the record management level due to this change in the agency in charge of personnel verification, and how those issues should be resolved on a practical and institutional level.

Some innovative strategies are being strongly promoted in records management system and institution of administrative agencies in Korea. To stabilize and institute these strategies, it is essential to improve the standards as well as legislations in the area of records management. The purpose of this study is to guide what kinds of standards to be developed and maintained, and to recommend some promoting principles and strategies. This study compares and analyzes international and foreign national standards to come up with improved standards in the national records management innovations. Four categories of standards are set for clearer explanation; national records management(KS ISO 15489), electronic records management, records management metadata, and others. Finally it suggests the promoting principles and strategies based on the analyses of the standard policies in USA and UK.

With the reform of records management law, the organization should manage a new criteria scheme of record management based on business task and process. The new criteria scheme includes business explanation, preservation period, cause of setting up preservation period and opening information, access authority, keeping records or not. In the past, there were also some regulations and criteria but, records management criteria should be managed systematically and rationally than past in electronic environment. In this study, some previous cases about records management criteria constructing and operating were introduced first. And various characters about records management criteria were reviewed after that, process sample and methodology were proposed for construction of each criteria. If the records management criteria were constructed properly according to goals and objectives of records management and the results were managed through electronic system, the consistency of records management will be kept well and value changes of business and records will be reflected dynamically.
