Abstract

Until now, records re-enacting social memories have not been main targets for preservation and management in Korea. However, people have recently begun to focus on forming and maintaining their memories because these personalized records have started to be recognized as social and political issues. In this respect, this study aims to find out how to preserve social memories by comparing various global open archives. For achieving our research goal, we first established the definition of social memories and records and revealed their characteristics. After then, we selected representative open archives’ websites to examine their collection polices and compare them according to several criteria. As a result, we distilled insights based on similarities and differences of each archive and discussed considerations in preserving social memories consisting of three phases: analyzing target social memories, establishing collection policies, and collecting actual records. This study has significance in that it examines the characteristics of social memories and records and also suggests preliminary findings for advanced research to develop practical tools for social records management and archives.

我们如何保存社会记忆?:全球开放档案探索

到目前为止，再现社会记忆的记录并不是保存和管理的主要对象。然而，人们最近开始关注记忆的形成和维持，因为这些个性化的记录开始被认为是社会和政治问题。在这方面，本研究旨在通过比较各种全球开放档案，找出如何保存社会记忆。为了实现我们的研究目标，我们首先建立了社会记忆和记录的定义，并揭示了它们的特征。之后，我们选取了具有代表性的开放档案网站，考察其收集政策，并根据几个标准进行比较。因此，我们根据每个档案的异同提炼出见解，并讨论了保存社会记忆的注意事项，包括三个阶段:分析目标社会记忆、建立收集策略和收集实际记录。本研究对社会记忆和社会档案的特征进行了探讨，并为进一步的研究提供了初步的发现，以开发实用的社会档案管理工具。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Information Science Theory and Practice (JISTaP) is an international journal that aims at publishing original studies, review papers and brief communications on information science theory and practice. The journal provides an international forum for practical as well as theoretical research in the interdisciplinary areas of information science, such as information processing and management, knowledge organization, scholarly communication and bibliometrics. To foster scholarly communication among researchers and practitioners of library and information science around the globe, JISTaP offers a no-fee open access publishing venue where a team of dedicated editors, reviewers and staff members volunteer their services to ensure rapid dissemination and communication of scholarly works that make significant contributions. In a modern society, where information production and consumption grow at an astronomical rate, the science of information management, organization, and analysis is invaluable in effective utilization of information. The key objective of the journal is to foster research that can contribute to advancements and innovations in the theory and practice of information and library science so as to promote timely application of the findings from scientific investigations to everyday life. Recognizing the importance of the global perspective with understanding of region-specific issues, JISTaP encourages submissions of manuscripts that discuss global implications of regional findings as well as regional implications of global findings.
