Cultural Heritage Administration Awarded Presidential Citation as Best Record Management Institution of 2022

[Asia Economy Reporter Seomideum] The Cultural Heritage Administration received the highest score in the 2021 Records Management Agency Evaluation hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and will be awarded the Presidential Citation. The award ceremony will be held on June 9 at the Nara Records Center located in Seongnam-si.

The evaluation was conducted in three areas: ‘Records Management Work Foundation,’ ‘Records Management Work Implementation,’ and ‘Other Areas.’ The Cultural Heritage Administration scored higher than the average of central administrative agencies in all areas.

Since 2018, the Cultural Heritage Administration has received and holds 12,322 volumes [257,373 items (cases)] of ‘Cultural Heritage Records’ such as photo films, slides, drawings, rubbings, and copies from ten private experts in the cultural heritage field. These records are valued as precious materials that reveal the history and research results of cultural heritage, which are difficult to find in existing administrative records. In the external committee evaluation, the collection of privately held records by experts attracted the most attention.

Meanwhile, the National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage, an affiliated institution of the Cultural Heritage Administration, was also selected as an excellent records management agency and will receive the Minister of the Interior and Safety Award on the same day.
