Suwon-si Builds Electronic Data DB for Paper Records Over 30 Years Old

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Suwon City in Gyeonggi Province is creating electronic data from 40,502 paper records stored for over 30 years in the comprehensive document archive to build a database (DB).

Among these, Suwon City will prioritize the DB conversion project from this year until 2025 for 16,753 paper records that are either at risk of damage or frequently requested by civil petitioners.

The project will be completed by scanning the paper records, correcting the image files, and entering indexes.

Previously, from 2012 to 2014, Suwon City converted 17,383 paper records into electronic data.

Since the launch of the 5th local government in 2010, Suwon City, which introduced the 'Records Management System,' has devoted efforts to managing records, publishing 39 white papers over the past 11 years, including the Suwon Hwaseong Repair White Paper, MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) White Paper, and Drunk Driving Eradication White Paper.

A city official explained, "Once the records DB work is completed, important administrative materials can be safely preserved for a long time, and building blueprints, extension and renovation details can be promptly and freely provided to civil petitioners."
