Abstract

This study examines the current status of records compilation in domestic archives and proposes strategies for revitalizing compilation practices by analyzing the working environment through the experiences and perceptions of practitioners. To this end, the study reviewed the concept and significance of compilation through a literature review and identified the operational realities and key challenges in the field through practitioner interviews. The interviews were analyzed based on six elements: personnel information, compilation operations, practitioner perceptions, progress by compilation stage, areas for improvement, and future plans. The findings revealed that compilation activities in domestic archives are not actively conducted, with significant issues including the absence of long-term planning, lack of assigned professional personnel, and limited diversity in media usage. Accordingly, this study proposes strategies to revitalize compilation practices, including efforts to secure professional personnel, promote systematic record arrangement, utilize diverse media formats, and expand records into value-added content.
