The folk-life museum is now managed with the collection of the life devices used while mankind were living and a variety of remains related to the culture created in human life. But considering the fact that the remains and tools managed in the space of museum lose their functions in a technical aspect, it seems that the cultural environment and content disappear. As the folk-life remains collected have cultural characteristics. they are the functional products in which human skills and costumes involved. Thus, the curators of the folk-life museum are advised to interpret the remains in an aspect of cultural content when they manage them. The purpose of this collection activity is to preserve and to study the cu1ture being disappearing as well as to give the more significance on the cultural features that the folk-life remains provide. If we collect the remains through the research activity. it is possible to collect and to record a variety of cultural elements related to remains. And even after the remains are collected, it leads to understanding the cultural content and interpreting the field characteristics that the materials provide. The museum will have the collected remains and materials as its collection after the curators arrange and register them. And those collected remains will be systemically classified to efficiently manage and use them according their characteristics. As each of the folk-life remains played a role as a tool that has been used in human life. it is important to group them depending on the original functions. When it is impossible to classify by materials because there are the remains composed of more than 2 materials. the functional classification is used. In addition, the collected remains and materials are given their numbers and names. After those procedures, the collection specification is written and the remains are registered as the museum collection. The collection specification is completed the way the remains are input in the Standards Antiquities Management System, where the specific items including the numbers, names, quantity, sizes, eras, features, and import reasons of remains and the information such as the images filmed and the locations where they have been kept are recorded . But it is difficult to interpret the life history using only these materials. Thus, it is required to consider the measures to specifically record the real contents researched in the field and the results from the study in detail. The study on all collected tangible and intangible materials becomes the foundation for all activities . The research activity allows us to understand the collections and helps perform such functions as exhibition. education. publication of a study as it re-constructs the phases of the times. Thus, the interpretation and researches in the cultural context. which are conducted by the curators and experts, can lead spectators to truly understand those collections. Due to its individual circumstance, each museum is different in the procedure and system to manage collections depending on the finance status of museum, the existing conditions; and the supplying environment, but the role as a research institute that investigating collections may be same. Thus. the most important thing in the process of managing collections in museum is to investigate and study the cultural context information that the remains have. These materials for the research and such a cultural interpretation should be the foundation for a variety of the functions of museum.
