Special subject archives in different fields have been established and the related studies have been constantly made so far, but no evaluation index reflecting the characteristics of the archives has yet been developed. Thus, this study intends to develop a draft of the special subject archive operation evaluation index through literature research and propose the special subject archive operation evaluation index through a Delphi survey. A Delphi survey was conducted thrice, with 10 persons in charge of archiving thematic archives in 5 fields. Finally, a special subject archive operation evaluation index consisting of 4 evaluation categories, 10 evaluation items, and 28 detailed items was proposed. This study is significant because it was the first in Korea to develop and propose an operation evaluation index for special subject archives.
