The National Assembly Archives of the Republic of Korea has been using the National Assembly Archives and Records Management System, which added some archival function to the Standard Records Management System that they had previously developed. However, the Standard Records Management System has limits in order to reflect all the business functions of the National Assembly Archives, which also acts as an archival institution, because the system had been developed and distributed to perform the function of a records center. Moreover, the current National Assembly Archives and Records Management System focuses on the management of official records transferred in accordance with the regulations. For this reason, it is difficult to register and manage various record types such as records of the members of the National Assembly (related to legislative activities), oral history collected from the National Assembly leader, audiovisual records of proceedings, and so on. As such, this study analyzed the problems of the current National Assembly Archives and Records Management System and conducted case studies of the systems in the National Archives, the Presidential Archives, Changwon City, and the Cultural Heritage Administration. Through this research, it proposed that system functions, metadata, the target system of the National Assembly Archives, and the Records Integrated Management System need a development plan.

This study aims to provide alternative strategies by analyzing the current records management system of the National Assembly. The study also defines the concept of parliamentary activity records based on the analysis of the parliamentary organization and its work, and checks the status of such system through the National Assembly Archives and the Constitutional Memorial Hall. In addition, the study derives institutional problems of the National Assembly records management structure by examining the current law. Therefore, the study proposes the Act on the Management of National Assembly Records, referred to as the Special Act on the Records Management Act, as an improvement measure. Furthermore, the Act aims to establish an intermediate records management system in the National Assembly and transfer the collection function of the constitutional memorial to the National Assembly Archives for the integrated management of parliamentary activities records.

As a theoretical background, it reviewed the history of the National Archives Assembly's records management organization and analyzed duties of a permanent records management institution based on the "Standard Operating Procedure for Archival Institutions." Moreover, this study discussed the National Archives Assembly's current organizational status and surveyed jobs of the National Assembly Archives staff. As a result, for the organization area, it suggested that the National Assembly should reappoint its permanent records management institution, establish records centers, and reassign the management authority on the Memorial Center to the National Archives Assembly. Furthermore, the study provided a reorganization plan. For the job area, it argued a necessity for expanding the job domain and reinforcing professional manpower. In line with this, it provided duties that were customized for the reorganization plan.

Managing and preserving parliamentary archives are significant national tasks. However, in South Korea significance of these tasks have not been recognized. The first exclusive organization for parliamentary archives management was established in 2000, It took about 50 years after the first South Korean government was established in 1948. The first legislation which regulated parliamentary archives management was enacted in 2001. There were no significant improvement on the regulation for the last decade. In April 2011 it was newly revised according to the amendment of the Act on Public Records Management. In this context this study critically analyzes the regulation and discusses various issues concerning the parliamentary archives management system. It divides the history of parliamentary archives management into four periods. It also explores four contentious issues ranging from parliamentary archive designation to archivists assignment. As a result, the study presents four different aspects for developing parliamentary archives management Each aspect proposes three different phased problems respectively. Keywords: national assembly records management regulation, national assembly archives,

The purpose of this study is to examine the reality of the records management of the National Assembly members and suggest a desirable alternative. Until the Public Records Management Act was enacted in 1999, the level of the records management in the National Assembly was not beyond that of the document management in both the administration and the legislature. Rather, the National Assembly has maintained a records management tradition that systematically manages the minutes and bills since the Constitutional Assembly. After the Act was legislated in 2000, the National Assembly Records Management Regulation was enacted and enforced, and the Archives was established in the form of a subsidiary organ of the Secretariat of the National Assembly, even though its establishment is not obligatory. In addition, for the first time, an archivist was assigned as a records and archives researcher in Korea, whose role is to respond quickly in accordance with the records schedule of the National Assembly, making its service faster than that of the administration. However, the power of the records management of the National Assembly Archives at the time of the Secretariat of the National Assembly was greatly reduced, so the revision of the regulations in accordance with the revised Act in 2007 was not completed until 2011. In the case of the National Assembly, the direct influence of the executive branch was insignificant. As the National Assembly had little direct influence on the administration, it had little positive influence on records management innovation under Roh Moo-Hyun Administration. Even within the National Assembly, the records management observed by its members is insignificant both in practice and in theory. As the National Assembly members are excluded from the Act, there is no legal basis to enforce a records management method upon them. In this study, we analyze the records management problem of the National Assembly members, which mainly concerns the National Assembly records management plan established in the National Archives. Moreover, this study proposes three kinds of records management methods for the National Assembly members, namely, the legislation and revision of regulations, the records management consulting of the National Assembly members, and the transfer of the dataset of administrative information systems and websites.

The National Assembly's archives management policy is deliberated by the National Assembly Archives Committee before it is implemented. This study tried to identify the agenda of the committee, which acts as a basis for establishing and implementing the archives management policies, and confirm whether various policies dealt with all fields of archives management. Accordingly, the committee meeting data, minutes, and related laws were checked. Focusing on the agenda, the continuity and diversity of the overall policy, whether there is a bias toward specific policy issues, and the main discussion subject of the committee about the archives management policy were analyzed. As a result of confirming the entire agenda, the agenda related to the archives management policy has been made up of reporting agendas, and as a result, it has emerged that various and in-depth discussions related to policies have not been conducted well. However, it was confirmed that the overall archives management policy was carried out with continuity for many years without focusing on a specific sector.

The National Assembly record is considered one of the most valuable public records because it has great value as a historical evidence of democracy. Therefore, it is not only used as a reference or evidence for work, but also used for academic purposes. Academic information users can improve their intellectual skills in our society, lead to indirect innovation, and provide customized services to them, which can increase the continuous viewing and utilization rate of records management institutions. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to propose a plan to activate the academic information service of the National Assembly Records Preservation Center, which is in charge of the National Assembly records. To this end, interviews were conducted with practitioners in charge of literature research, case studies, and services at the National Assembly Archives and users of academic information. It proposed improving awareness of the National Assembly Archives, strengthening online services, and customized user services.

The record management system of the National Assembly was remarkably reformed as 'Record Management Act' was enacted in 1999. At first, the records of the National Assembly had been managed by the general services division, the proceeding division and the stenograph division. But as Record Management Act was enacted, the system was remarkably reformed. 'The National Assembly Archives' was set up for the first time since the National Assembly was established in 1948. In addition, the proceeding division and the stenograph division were set up as 'the National Assembly Record Management Rules' were laid down. In result, The National Assembly Archives took to comprehensively manage records that had been scattered over 'the National Assembly Secretariat', 'the National Assembly Library' and otherwise, and so it had been true to its name. The two changes, the enactment of Record Management Act and the reform of the National Assembly record management system, well show how national records are managed by constitutional institutions. 'Governmental Document Regulations' was enacted ahead of Record Management Act, but there was no obligation to apply it to the National Assembly. But Record Management Act, enacted in the form of 'a law' in 1999, began to be in force even in constitutional institutions and therefore the National Assembly felt the need to take follow-up measures so as to bring the act to effect smoothly. As a part of follow-up measures, the National Assembly set up The National Assembly Archives and reformed the National Assembly Record Management Rules. This study was performed to ascertain how Record Management Act affected the National Assembly, how the National Assembly coped with the act, and how the record management system of the National Assembly changed.

This article explores the current status of arrangement of the archives relating to the Korean Provisional Assembly held by the National Assembly Library and suggests the direction of rearrangement focusing on the principles of arrangement. The Korean Provisional Assembly had records management regulations, and records were produced and stored according to them. However, the archives lost their original order at some point. The National Assembly Library collected and managed them in the 1960s. The National Assembly Library did not fully consider the records management system at the time of record production and various situations that may occur during the storage process while organizing the collected archives. At that time, the National Assembly Library did not follow the records management regulations of the Korean Provisional Assembly. In addition, the hierarchical structure of archives was not applied during the arrangement, and the National Assembly Library arranged without considering the Principal of Provenance and the Principle of original order. As a result, it became difficult to understand the structure and context of the archives. In order to solve these problems and come up with a plan for rearranging the archives, first of all, it is necessary to examine the characteristics of the records related to the Korean Provisional Assembly in accordance with the principles of record arrangement. First, according to the Principal of Provenance, it is necessary to identify the organization, function, and records and classify the records item, records file, creators, dates of creation, types of records etc. Second, by applying the Principle of original order, it is necessary to understand what the order of records was at the time when records were created and preserved. Third, it is necessary to examine whether the records are completely created and valid. It is impossible to completely arrange the archives related to the Korean Provisional Assembly as it was in the past. However, by examining the current state of arrangement and the direction of rearrangement, it will be possible to newly understand the contents, structure, and context of the archives and create a basis for effective reference service.
