InterPARES

InterPARES (International Research on Permanent Authentic Records) is a global research project focused on understanding how digital records—like emails, documents, and multimedia—can be created, managed, and preserved reliably over time. Its goal is to develop guidelines and standards to ensure digital records remain authentic, accessible, and trustworthy for future generations. By studying best practices and technological approaches, InterPARES helps organizations, archivists, and governments maintain the integrity and historical value of digital information, enabling it to serve as credible evidence and cultural heritage well into the future.
