Although most medical institutions in Korea use electronic medical records (EMR), there are many problems in the management and preservation of records when such medical institutions are closed. Records of closed medical institutions need to be systematically managed; however, the rate of closed medical institutions transferring records to public health centers is significantly low. Given that each medical institution has a different system and format, public health centers often cannot access records. In addition, there are no management standards that suit the reality of public health centers and the specificity of EMR. Recently, a strengthened Medical Law has been passed wherein records of closed medical institutions should be kept by health centers; therefore, this study focused on drawing up measures for efficient records management by public health centers. To this end, the relevant laws and management status were identified and an interview was conducted. After analyzing the problems, improvement plans in institutional, technical, and administrative aspects were proposed.

The discussion on local archives management institutions started in the early 2000s and has been steady. In the law, local records management institutions first appeared in 1999, and in 2007, the establishment of local records management institutions by local governments became compulsory. The archival institutions of local government, however, were actually founded in the Gyeongnam Province, 2018, and in the Seoul City, 2019, over 10 years after the revision of the law. And as of 2021, various local governments, including Gyeonggi-do, are conducting research to establish local archives management institutions. This is the time when domestic records management institutions are introduced in earnest. However, it is still unclear how regional archives will operate in practice, particularly how they will accommodate the management of private archives, which has long been regarded as the mission of regional archives. In this thesis, the past discussions on the local record management institutions will be reviewed focusing on private record management. In this regard, it is intended to examine the current state of private records management of local records management institutions through the current status of local records management institutions in operation, and to seek directions for local records management institutions based on this.

It has been more than ten years since the evaluation system of records management in public institutions was introduced. Over the past decade, the evaluation system of records management in public institutions has contributed to the professional deployment of records management and the expansion of the records infrastructure. However, at this time, it is necessary to introduce a new evaluation system because of various problems including ranking and insufficiency of feedback measure. Therefore, we attempted to identify the problems and suggest the direction of improvement by analyzing the status of the evaluation system for records management in public institutions and collecting opinions from various sectors. The directions of the new institutional evaluation on records management based on the analysis of the problems are a step-by-step introduction, the selection of customized evaluation indicators according to institutional characteristics, the introduction of the governance system, self-evaluation by selecting autonomous indicators of institutions, and the strengthening of the consulting function of the National Archives of Korea.

This study seeks to present the direction of improving related laws and systems to allow various institutions, organizations, and individuals to collect private records based on the network. For the study, the current status of network cooperation and support according to laws, systems, and layers related to private records of overseas records management institutions were inspected. Based on this, the definition of private records, role designation between institutions, and direction of network cooperation according to the level were suggested. In particular, legislation and institutionalization of consultative bodies involving various subjects, such as institutions, organizations, companies, and individuals, were emphasized.

This study examined the problems of evaluating records management institutions of District Offices of Education (DOE) and conducted literature reviews, surveys, and in-depth interviews to suggest improvement measures. This study analyzed survey questions (response rate 52.8%) of records management officers in charge of records management in 176 DOE and in-depth interviews of records managers from 15 institutions who agreed to participate. Based on the analysis of the surveys and interviews, a further interview was conducted with a records manager responsible for records management institution evaluation at the National Archives of Korea (NAK). All of the results were aggregated to derive improvement measures in the areas of evaluation environment, agents of evaluation, and evaluation policy. The results of this study can be used as references to implement evaluations for records management institutions that reflect the characteristic of each institution type.

As information disclosure is actively requested, loopholes of the government's Records Management System have exposed. Important documents of government have been disposed, lost, and closed to the public by the reason that they are 'classified'. This study starts from the recognition of these problems. Researches on classified records are necessary to reveal the historical truth. The purpose of this study is to examine the organization of Records Management System and the management of classified documents of the government institutions. Through the analysis of actual condition of classified records management, it is found that the classified records management is poorly implemented in Korea. This study especially deals with the classified records management system in special records management institutions such as legislative, judiciary, and military agencies. Though this study deals with a specific part of government, it may contribute to improvement of classified records management in government as a whole.

Recently, a number of record centers have reviewed the introduction of an RFID system for repository management. However, the RFID system currently in use by records management institutions is implemented with only a few functions for repository management. As such, a more efficient nonelectronic records management is required by improving the functions of the current RFID system. In this paper, the researchers proposed a method to improve its functions through an analysis of the RFID system being introduced for the management of nonelectronic records. To analyze the status of nonelectronic records management of records management institutions, the researchers investigated cases of the National Archives of Korea where RFID was introduced in 2007 and the records management institutions of local governments where RFID was introduced in 2016.

This study analyzed the meanings and other details of the provisions in line with the free use of public works introduced through the Copyright Act of Korea in Dec. 2013 in the aspect of archival information services and indicated the limitations as follows. First, not all institutions shall follow the provisions because it does not cover all institutions under the Law of Records Management in Korea. Second, even though most of works made for hire in state institutions, local governments, and public institutions are not yet made public, to enable a work to be made public is a requisite for public works to be used for free. This is to limit the scope of public works. To solve the problems, this study suggested the revision directions of the Copyright Act of Korea that every school, which creates works made for hire, are covered in the institutions that enable the free use of works and change the requisite to make a work public for the disclosure the information. This study also suggested that the element for copyright information shall be created in the records schedule for public institutions and metadata standard for records management. The copyright information shall also be described when the records are registered.

The records management evaluation system is a system operated by the National Archives of Korea since 2007 based on the 「Public Records Management Act」. As the environment of public records management changes dramatically, there is a growing perception that fundamental improvement is necessary in the operation of this evaluation system. In particular, it is required that the most emphasized area is the customized methods based on the type and characteristics of the institutions. This study focused on the self-evaluation method, which aims to strengthen the autonomous evaluation capability of institutions as a new records management evaluation system in public institutions. In particular, the needs to change toward the self-evaluation method is described in relation to the diversity of the institutions to be evaluated, the specificity of the organizational structure of the archives, and the hierarchy and individuality of the institutions. A self-evaluation system (draft) was designed by which an institution diagnoses the records management work by itself, which aims to improve the level of performance. It also covered the development of evaluation items and indicators, the step-by-step application, and the legal and operational aspects to run the records management evaluation system in phases in public records management practices.
