Abstract

We all require access to original, authentic, usable records. However, a major issue facing society is the extent to which the concept of the digital record has been challenged and, furthermore, to what extent the digital evidence base is at risk because we do not have all the tools to maintain and sustain it through time. In business we use it to inform decision-making, conduct inquiries, hold individuals and organisations to account, to demonstrate transparency, to innovate, to research the past and build on the work of others. However, whilst in a paper world the nature of records was understood and familiar, in the digital world some contend that the nature of records is shifting. This set of digital files contain different visions and perspectives on the nature of a record that emerged from the RecordDNA international research network. They aim to spark debate, discussion, research and processes for the maintenance of the digital evidence base through time.
