한국근현대사의 굴곡 속에서 공공 및 민간기록물이 훼손되고유실되었다. 2007년 「공공기관의 기록물관리에 관한 법률」이 「공공기록물관리에 관한법률」로 전면 개정되면서, 민간에 소산되어있는 주요 기록물을 파악 보존하기 위해 ‘국가지정기록물’을 지정하는 제도가 보강되었다. 중앙기록물관리기관에서 일정한 기준과범위를 정하여 ‘국가지정기록물’을 지정하여 소장기관을 후원함으로서 공공기록물의 한계를 보완하고 한국사회의 역사상을 풍부히하는데 기여할 것이라 기대하고 만든 제도이다. 2007년부터 2015 년까지 총 14건의 기록물이 국가지정기록물로 지정되었다. 본고에서는 어떠한 기록물들이 ‘국가지정기록물’로 지정되었으며, 소장처들은 국가지정기록물을 어떻게 관리하고 활용해왔는지 살펴보고자 한다. 이를 통해 국가지정기록물 지정제도의 관리현황을 파악하고자 한다. 더불어 ‘국가지정기록물’ 소장기관의 담당자를 면담하여 국가지정기록물 소장처의 기록물 관리현황과 서비스 현황 및 국가지정기록물 지정 효과를 살펴보고, 국가지정기록물 지정제도의 개선방안을 제언하고자 한다.


This study is on management present and improvements on National Records Designation System. National Records Designation System is a system that supports management and preservation of changes of records designated by the government through consideration that such records are worth preserving permanently nationally among records acquired by individual or organization. This system is meaningful in a way that it established systematic foundation to hand down by informatizing historic private records which are in danger to be lost or damaged due to lack of proper care. However, compared to the number of designated records, the information that could be practically drawn from such records are limited. This triggered this study to be launched. National Archive sometimes promotes designation and management of National Designated records. Yet archival information service offering access of user to national designated records are very rare. I conducted survey and interview of managers, field research, and documentary research of 10 records holding institution that keeps national designated records currently. I considered that current management status of National Records Designation System can be figured out minutely through these research. As a result of such research, most of the records holding institutions offered display as their least archival information service. The objective of records informatization was to utilize the records. Also further plans on information service related to records and various utilization were suggested. records holding institution manager did not give positive answer on effect of designating national designated records and cooperation between National Archive. Support to National Archive only focused on preservation. For national designated records holding institution designated after 2011 were not getting proper support. In addition, National Archive’s support rarely met records holding institution’s need. In such circumstances, things to consider for improvements of National Records Designation System is as following. First, designation of national designated records should be based on the utilization of the record. Each records holding institution's willingness to utilize corresponding records and National Archive’s ability to draw the willingness out should be considered. Also, it shouldn’t be left as mere complementary policy of National Archive’s selecting policy. Second, for National Records Designation System to be managed permanently, it should be changed as the system that supports enhancement of private records management. The aim should point to the direction where private can manage and preserve the records on their own. Third, There needs to be changes on the subject and process of national designated records designation. National designated record is the record that was considered valuable by the government among private records. Thus, such records should be the best one to show private field. Accordingly, records that represent contemporary society and includ various states and contents should be chosen to be designated. Moreover, public discussion be formed by citizens and related professionals in order to properly select the record.
