조선시대 기록물의 생산 및 처리과정과 보존

Abstract

This study is carried out to investigate the thoughts on records management and the characteristics of the archives management system in the Joseon Period.Major findings of this study are as follows.1, Such essential elements as laws and regulations of the Joseon(朝鮮) Period were analyzed by examining The True Record of the Joseon Dynasty(朝鮮王朝實錄), various codes of laws(法典類), Joong-Gi(重記) that is traditional government records and ancient manuscripts(古文書). By investigating DaeMyungRyul- JikHae(大明律直解) and KyungKookDaeJeon(經國大典) we could learn about the various rules of the forms, communications among government offices, and the period and method of keeping official documents in the Joseon period.2. It is not known exactly how to collect and process records in the old days. The analysis of codes of laws and rules and the existing documents, however, enables us to presume the rough outline of those processes. The methods and processes of records management of such institutions as UeiJeongboo(議政府) or Gaggakgo(架閣庫) in the old days are similar to how to collect, manage, communicate, and preserve records in the present time. 3. In the Joseon Dynasty, there were Gagakgo(架閣庫), Sago(史庫), Moonseogo(文書庫), and Hojeokgo(戶籍庫) which are similar to modern archives, and whose primary functions are to create, manage, preserve and transfer records to the future generations. Since there was no central records management institution, records were managed by separate local institutions, and therefore, not properly managed.Sillok(實錄) and various other historical records document the methods and systems of preserving records. For instance, when Moonseogo(文書庫) was destroyed by fire, it was relocated to an isolated area, and people were prohibited from living in its neighborhood.
