공공기관의 활동과 관련하여 생성된 행정박물은 문자로는 표현할 수 없는 상징성, 역사성 및 심미성과 함께 형상물로서의 가치가 크기 때문에 향후 전시 및 활용의 가치가 높다. 우리나라에서는 지난 2006년 『기록관리혁신 종합실천계획』을 통해 행정박물을 공공기록으로 인식하고 그에 대한 적극적인 관리의지를 표명하였다. 이와 함께 개정 기록관리법에서는 행정박물 역시 업무와 관련하여 생산접수한 기록물의 범주에 포함시킴으로써, 모든 공공기관에서 행정박물을 관리케 할 수 있는 기반을 마련하였다. 행정박물을 기록으로 인식하고 관리의지를 명문화했다는 점은 이전과는 다른 개혁적 의도로 볼 수 있지만, 행정박물에 대한 개념 규정 및 이를 체계적으로 관리보존할 수 있게 하는 방안은 아직 미비한 상태이다. 이에 본고에서는 행정박물 관리체계 구축방안 마련을 위한 일환으로, 행정박물의 유형분류 및 평가 문제를 고찰하였다. 행정박물의 관리체계 구축을 위해서는 우선적으로 행정박물에 대한 명확한 개념 규정 및 구체적인 유형 파악이 선행되어야 한다는 전제 하에, 실제 조사자료 및 현행 유관법령을 기반으로 행정박물의 정의 및 유형분류를 시도하였다. 또한 공공기관의 업무와 관련하여 생산활용되는 물품 중 어떠한 대상을 행정박물로 획득하여 관리할 것인가를 고찰하기 위해, 행정박물 선별 상의 특성을 분석하였다. 이를 바탕으로 우리나라 행정박물 선별체제 및 영구보존 대상 선별기준 마련을 위한 방안을 제시하였다.

Archival objects produced in relation to the activities of public institutions hold the inexpressible symbolism, historical value, and esthetical value as well in that the values of display and reuse of archives materials in the future are high as figures. The revised law of Archives Act in 2007 has provided a foundation for managing the archival objects in every public organization, by also including archival objects into the category of archives produced and registered in relation to their works. Although it could be seen as a reforming will to aim at the differential approach from the past to recognize the archival objects as records and make the managing will documented, it is still in an unprepared state to define the concepts on archival objects and to have methods to systematically manage and preserve them. Thus this paper has researched on the type classification of archival objects and their evaluation, as way of developing the methods for the management system for archival objects. On the premise that it should be preceded by clear definitions of concepts and distinctive understanding of their types first in order to build up the management system for archival objects, definition and type classification of the archival object have been attempted, based on the actual research materials and the current relevant laws. In addition, this study has analyzed the characteristics of selecting archival objects in order to search for which one they should obtain and manage among archival objects produced and reused in relation to the works of public institutions. On the basis of this, the plans for the national selection system and provision of selecting criteria for the subjects of permanent preservation have been suggested in this study.
