Description

Published in association with the Society of American Archivists

Trusting Records in the Cloud presents key findings of InterPARES Trust, an international research project that has investigated issues of trust in, and trustworthiness of records and data online, with respect to privacy, accessibility, portability, metadata and ownership. The project has produced theoretical and methodological frameworks for the development of local, national and international policies, procedures, regulations, standards and legislation, to ensure public trust grounded on evidence of good governance, strong digital economy and persistent digital memory.

Topics include:

- risks and remedies to the contracts the public must enter into with service providers

- implementing retention and disposition schedules in the cloud

- understanding the role of metadata in cloud services for chain of custody

- rethinking issues of appraisal, arrangement and description

- preservation as a series of services implementable by a variety of preservation actors

- information governance, risk management, and authentication practices and technologies.

Readership: This book is essential reading for records and archives managers, information professionals and organizations that are using or intend to use the cloud for the creation, management and preservation of their information; records and archives students and educators; individuals working in the academic, government and private sectors, and members of the public concerned about their personal information in the cloud.

Reviews / Votes

'Overall, this book will be useful to both current professionals seeking to obtain an overview of this topic, with key pointers for deeper study and exploration, and those in aligned professions seeking an insight into where there are overlaps between our remits.' -- Alex Fitzgerald * Taylor & Francis Online * 'Comprehensive in scope and expertly organized in presentation, Trusting Records in the Cloud is the ideal textbook for teaching archivists and records managers students and therefore an unreservedly recommended addition to college and university Contemporary Library Science instructional reference collections.' -- James A. Cox * Midwest Book Review * 'Trusting Records in the Cloud thus fills an important gap in the professional literature by directly addressing questions of how to establish and maintain trust in records and systems. Along with the individual studies and reports produced by the ITrust initiative, this volume will do much to prepare institutions for the hurdles we will inevitably face in coming years.' -- Mike Shallcross * The American Archivist *
