Description
Explore key issues in conceptual and theoretical frameworks of archival studies from the perspectives of scholars and practicing archivists and records managers.
The contributors examine the state of archival studies as a discipline and practice, placing it within an international, interdisciplinary, forward-looking context. Topics include: the identity of archival science as a discipline, the authenticity and trustworthiness of archives in various forms, archival practice around the world, and new directions for archives in the 21st century. Many of these topics were originally articulated or strongly influenced by Luciana Duranti's international and interdisciplinary InterPARES projects (1998-2026).
The book's themes (theoretical concepts about trustworthiness of records, interdisciplinary research, archival education, and the archival profession) are particularly relevant in today's environment when governments and institutions are questioning the trustworthiness of records and attempting to combat disinformation. The book will fill a unique niche by presenting scholarship, practice, and pedagogy influenced by Duranti.
