With the increase in private and community archives to record various different shapes and forms of societies, the establishment of archives for social minorities has heightened. In line with these changes, this study analyzed the Korean queer archives "Queerarch," which focus on records and archives on sexual minorities. This study examined the current status of the archives of Queerarch, and grasped the characteristics of the queer archives and the problems of archival description elements. The current archival description elements used in Queerarch do not fully reflect the characteristics of the queer archives and the multilayer description method. To solve these problems, this study proposed a metadata schema that includes archival description elements that are based on archival description standards such as the General International Standard Archival Description (ISAD (G)), Manual of Archival Description (MAD), Rules for Archival Description (RAD), and others.
