한국 국가기록관리체제의 개혁과 국가기록원 개편

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the features and problems of the Korea’snational records archiving system established in 1999, as well as to suggestthe countermeasures. First, in Korea, permanent records are archived by the administration,legislature and judicature separately. However, around the world there arevery few cases where a national archives controls the records of theadministration alone, whereupon there is the need to set up an integratedarchiving system regarding the records of the administration, legislature andjudicature. Second, in Korea, the records archiving system leans too muchtowards the centrally-controlled system, which is urgent to be solved. ‘Record Management Act’ stipulates that all the public records, includingnonpermanent ones, shall be managed by National Archives, wherewithNational Archives is overburdened. Hereat, it may be desirable for NationalArchives to manage very important records that deserve to be archivedpermanently and for Record Center to archive other records, which needsto be made into law.
