Here is the Introduction to the “International Research on Permanent Authentic Records in Electronic Systems (InterPARES) 2: Experiential, Interactive and Dynamic Records” which was published in 2008. The Introduction to the InterPARES 2 Project Book discusses the goals of the project, which include “ensuring that records can be trusted as to their content (that is, are reliable and accurate) and as records (that is, are authentic) while used by their creator; selecting the records that have to be kept for legal, administrative, social or cultural reasons after they are no longer needed by their creator; preserving the selected records in authentic form over the long term; and analyzing and evaluating advanced technologies for the implementation of these methodologies in a way that respects cultural diversity and pluralism.”
