ABSTRACT

Korea is aging at an unprecedented rate. This implies that information users are aging, and archives need to provide Archival Information Services for the elderly. Archives should also have a digital inclusion perspective to ensure that the digital marginalization and exclusion experienced by the elderly in the digital society is not repeated in Archival Information Services. This study aims to propose Archival Information Services for the elderly, focusing on a digital inclusion perspective. Based on previous research, this study identifies elements of digital inclusion for the elderly that should be reflected in the provision of Archival Information Services. Then, this study investigated advanced cases that realize digital inclusion or provide senior-friendly services. Next, this study proposed specific strategies for Archival Information Services for the elderly, including "online accessibility considering elderly usability,” "senior-friendly search and browsing services,” and "expanded services to ensure and enhance elderly participation.” This study’s results are anticipated to contribute to facilitating the access and active use of archival information for the elderly.
