ABSTRACT

This study empirically examines how awareness of the documentation of legislative activities was formed and disseminated amid the institutional vacuum in records management in the political domain, and how this accumulation led to the institutional outcome of establishing the National Assembly Records and Archives. The researcher applied the “empirical account” method, cross-referencing the experiences accumulated while participating in the process of supporting the establishment of the National Assembly Records and Archives with documentary sources. The analysis confirms that establishing the National Assembly Records and Archives goes beyond simply creating an administrative organization; it is a process of institutionally implementing political accountability and democratic publicness. Specifically, it highlights the significance of incorporating records of National Assembly members and political parties into the management domain and establishing its role as a “democratic archive” responsive to the digital environment.
