The International Research on Permanent Authentic Records in Electronic Systems (InterPARES), aims at developing the knowledge essential to the long-term preservation of authentic records created and/or maintained in digital form and providing the basis for standards, policies, strategies and plans of action capable of ensuring the longevity of such material and the ability of its users to trust its authenticity.  CiFER is engaged with the InterPARES project to advise on digital records preservation strategies and to oversee a general study on the effects of organizational culture on the implementation of digital records preservation strategies and electronic records management systems.
