****************************************
The International Research on Permanent Authentic Records in
Electronic Systems (InterPARES) 3 Project is an international
collaborative endeavour composed of 15 regional, national and
multinational research teams. The overall goal of the Project is to
enable small and medium-sized public and private records/archival units,
organizations or programs, which are responsible for the digital records
resulting from government, business, research, art and entertainment,
social and/or community activities, to preserve over the long term
authentic records that satisfy the requirements of their stakeholders and
society’s needs for an adequate record of its past.
Begun in 2007, the project has reached its mid-term mark and is going to
present and discuss its findings and products to date in an International
Symposium that will see the participation of speakers from North and
South America, Europe and Asia.
TOPICS WILL INCLUDE: the impact of organizational culture on the
development of preservation programs; various cities' strategies for
digital preservation; digital preservation in structured and unstructured
environments (law enforcement and financial organizations versus academic
and art organizations); pervasive issues in digital preservation (e-mail,
vital records, XML, web 2.0); issues of terminology, and more.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND? Records and information managers, archivists, IT
professionals, librarians, administrators, auditors, any decision maker
responsible for digital records policies and procedures, and of course
students, regardless of whether they are in the records and archives
field...everybody should learn about digital preservation.
