InterPARES (International Research on Permanent Authentic Records in Electronic Systems)

InterPARES is an international research project focused on ensuring that digital records—like emails, documents, and data stored electronically—remain trustworthy and accessible over time. It develops standards, methods, and technologies to preserve the authenticity, integrity, and usability of electronic records for future generations. This is essential for legal, historical, and administrative purposes, as digital records are increasingly vital in society. By studying best practices and solutions, InterPARES helps organizations and archivists maintain the reliability of digital information in an ever-evolving technological landscape.
