本稿は、明治太政官期の修史部局の記録管理を分析するものである。太政官の記録管理部局から派生した修史部局は、歴史を編纂する修史的側面に加え、史料や図書の収集・管理といったアーカイブズ的側面を併せ持つため、当該期のアーカイブズ認識や制度を検討する上で重要な一事例である。歴史課の成立経緯を、「記録編輯」の編纂物を提示しつつ、明治元年11月記録編輯掛、3年11月記録編輯局、4年8月記録局(同9月記録分局設置)といった段階を明示して論じた。5年10月の歴史課設置は、政府の様々な記録管理を掌る正院記録局内の分課構想が、正院の分課に落着し、内史・外史に記録局の各課が分課された結果だと位置づけた。成立した修史部局の記録管理を、東京大学史料編纂所所蔵「修史局・修史局史料」を用いて分析した。記録管理制度については、歴史課、修史局、修史館の段階別に解明し、記録局出身の官員らによって取扱事項の明文化などの整備が進められたことを指摘した。その上で制度に対応する記録管理の実態に迫り、「修史局・修史館史料」のうち往復文書、日記・官員履歴類、受付録、図書目録の簿冊について整理し、これらと別に史料編纂所が所蔵する簿冊との対応関係を示した。以上を踏まえ、当該期の政府の記録管理を捉えるには、修史部局やそれと同様の成立経緯・アーカイブズ的側面を持つ地誌・統計編纂事業の検討が不可欠である点を指摘した。This article analyzes records management of the Office of Historiography under the Dajō-kan during the Meiji period. The Office of Historiography, derived from the record administration department of the Dajō-kan, is an important example when considering the recognition and institutionalization of archives in that period because it has archival aspects such as collection and management of historical records or books in addition to the historical aspects, compiling history. While presenting the compilation of the Kiroku Henshū, we discussed the history of the establishment of the History Division by expressly giving the following three chronological orders and the corresponding name: the Kiroku henshū gakari in November of Meiji 1, as the Kiroku henshū kyoku in November of Meiji 3, and as the Kiroku kyoku in August of Meiji 4 (the branch of the Kiroku kyoku was established in September in the same year) We assumed that the subdivision concept within the Seiin Records department responsible for the various records management of the government was settled down by making it a subdivision of the Seiin. We then concluded that the establishment of the History Division of October of Meiji 5 was the result of the subdivision of each department of the recording office into Naishi and Gaishi. We analyzed the records management of the Office of Historiography by using the Shūshi-kyoku and Shūshi-kan Shiryō owned by the Historiographical Institute of the University of Tokyo. Regarding the record management system, we clarified stage by stage the History division, the Shūshi-kyoku, and the Shūshi-kan, and then pointed out that the officials from the bureau of records made preparations such as clarification of handling matters. In addition, we approached to the actual situation of the record management corresponding to the system. We organized books of round-trip documents, diary / official history, acceptance records, book bibliographies described in the Shūshi-kyoku and Shūshi-kan Shiryō, and then showed the correspondences with books separately owned by the Historiographical Institute of the University of Tokyo. Based on the above, we pointed out that consideration of chorography and or statistical compilation projects which have history of establishment and or archives aspects similar to the ones of the Office of Historiography are indispensable to understand record management of the government during that period.
