ABSTRACT

Public records, produced by the Government-General of Joseon during the Japanese occupation, are preserved and managed at the National Archives and Records Service as well as in the National Institute of Korean History and the National Museum of Korea. Since the Korean government received approximately 14,000 files from the Government-General through the provisional U.S. military government, the National Archives and Records Service has preserved the records collected from government agencies on every level. While some documents are kept by the National Institute of Korean History and the National Museum of Korea, the National Archives and Records Service is currently managing the largest collection of official documents produced by the Government-General of Joseon .Since these public records are scattered over various institutions, they are variously organized and classified according to the characteristics of those holding institutions. However, they should be uniformly classified by the agency which produced them and their characteristics, no matter where they are kept. It is very urgent to establish a standard classification system suitable for this particular collection of official documents, which could be shared by various holding institutions.. In this research, a classification system is proposed to represent the hierarchical structure and official duties carried out by the Government-General of Joseon. In order to establish a well-organized classification system, further research is needed to understand comprehensively the organizations and functions of the Government-General of Joseon.
