조선 大典類에 나타난 기록관리제도의 성립과 변화 양상

Abstract

Joseon was a country that pursued the rule of law. Early on, Joseon solidified its administrative system based on the establishment of the law 經國大典 . The records and archives management system was also constituted and operated in accordance with this law. 經國大典 was considered as permanent law by the rulers, however, in reality it needed change because of responding to political, economic, and social variation. To overcome this legal problem, Joseon continued to supplement and compile the law like 續大典 , 大典通編 and 大典會通 . As the laws were supplemented and compiled, the records and archives management system was also reorganized ans supplemented. Joseons records and archives management rules which including form of official document were maintained until the late period. However the legal obligations and penalites which related records and archives were continuously enacted and supplemented in the latter. This means that records and archives were actively used in a wider public area, and then legal control of records ans archives was required in this situation in Joseon.
