ABSTRACT

Archival science is prior to explore meaning and role of recordmanagement in given environments rather than developing recordmanagement methodology. Electronic record environments don’t merelymean to exchange record management medium from paper to digital. Themost important point exploring in electronic record environments is notmanagement skills or methods, but meaning of records and role of recordmanagement in contemporary society. All these days, however, the theoriesand methodologies has been developed focusing on written records andpublic records mainly in the deep-rooted influence of positivism. In such situations, the discussions of social memories can exploremeanings and roles of record management in pluralistic society. Meanwhile,many articles in archival science has been widespread recognition thatrecords will soon be just memories in terms of objective and neutralevidence. In recently, however, conviction on objectivity and neutrality ofrecords has broken down by the influence of postmodernism on archivalscience. Therefore this article intends to explore the relationship betweenrecord and memory and to argue the roles of archival science for buildingsocial memories.
