Purpose of the InterPARES Project Preserving Authentic A Report on the InterPARES Project International Research on Permanent Authentic in Elec tronic Systems Philip B. Eppard ECURE 2001 To develop the theoretical and methodological knowledge essential for the permanent preservation of records generated electronically. To formulate model policies, strategies, and standards capable of ensuring their preservation. International Research on Permanent Authentic in Elec tronic Systems Previous UBC Project Born out of previous UBC research. "The of the Integrity of " ("The UBC Project"). Defined the requirements for creating, handling and preserving reliable and authentic electronic records in active recordkeeping systems. With U.S. Department of Defense. Developed DoD Management standard 5015.2.
