InterPARES 2: 
Experiential, Interactive and Dynamic Records

The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) has granted a second phase of the InterPARES Project. InterPARES 2: Experiential, Interactive and Dynamic Records began on January 1, 2002 and will continue until December 31, 2006. Although based on the findings of the original InterPARES Project, InterPARES 2 is dramatically innovative in several ways: 

1. it will address issues of reliability and accuracy in addition to issues of authenticity, where InterPARES 1 was only concerned with authenticity; 
2. it will address them throughout the records' life-cycle (from creation to permanent preservation), where InterPARES 1 was concerned with non-current records destined to permanent preservation; 
3. it will focus on records produced in new digital environments, experiential, dynamic, and interactive, where InterPARES 1 was concerned with records generated in databases and document management systems; and its object will be records resulting from artistic, scientific and government activities; whereas InterPARES 1 was concerned with records resulting from administrative and legal activities.
