Archival Science in Interdisciplinary Theory and Practice brings together scholars, practicing archivists, and records managers to discuss key issues in the conceptual and theoretical frameworks of the profession.

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.

Industry Reviews

This book presents a fresh look at the theoretical basis and future of digital archives. The chapters, written by experts in the field, cover new ground on changing archival relationships in a digital age. The authors explain how the international InterPARES project and the work of Luciana Duranti affected archival practice and argue that disruptive innovations such as Artificial Intelligence represent a new wave of change for archivists. This edited book offers sophisticated approaches to managing, describing, and providing access to digital archives. This book, written by interdisciplinary scholars, bridges the gap between archival theory and practice.
