SYMPOSIUM OVERVIEW
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, metadata); issues of terminology, social media, 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.
