Abstract

The challenges presented to records and archival professionals by digital records have been extensively researched since the early 1990s. The InterPARES project is one of these early efforts. It progresses along with the evolution of information technologies in the past 20 years of its four phases, and continues to update, enhance and extend its professional knowledge and expertise today. This paper, by setting InterPARES as an example, offers a view on how traditional discipline response to and evolves with the rapidly changing technologies. The project’s theoretical foundation and methodological design is first briefly introduced. The main part then elaborates on its research path and contributions via a thread that links the development of digital technologies, their impacts on the management of digital records, and the corresponding responses from the InterPARES project. The paper concludes with a set of meaningful insights drawn from the research experience of the InterPARES project.
