역사적으로 권력과 기록물의 관계는 불가분의 관계이다. 기록물은 권력행위의 기록된 흔적이며 권력의 의지는 기록물의 존재에 상당한 영향을 미친다. 민주주의 사회에서 권력은 자신의 행위를 증거하는 기록물을 통해 국민에게 봉사하며 동시에 자신의 투명성을 증명한다. 하지만 그 반대의 경우 권력은 국민을 탄압하고 불행으로 이끈다. 이처럼 기록물은 민주주의의 핵심인 권력의 균형을 위해서도 매우 중요한 역할을 수행한다. 기록물의 상징성과 역할을 고려할 때, 이들에 대한 합리적이고 올바른 관리는 궁극적으로 국민의 권리보호에 직결된다.
Historically the relation between the power and archives is inseparable. Archives are the recorded traces of political actions and an intention of power has a considerable effect on the existence of archives. In the democratic society the power serves people on the basis of the archives adopted as an evidence of political actions. Archives play an important role for the balance of power, which is a principle point of democracy. Considering the function and symbolism of archives, its proper and reasonable management is connected directly to the protection of people’s rights.
