And it discusses the records management task of ethnogrpahic data using the field work data collected in the research project of ‘Cultural History of Kitchen’ which was carried out by one of the authors from 2002 to 2005. The authors draw out the classification of laboratory records from the previous studies on research records, apply it to the ethnographic data and illustrate the new classification and description of research records reflecting the features of ethnographic data.
