My area of expertise is records, their nature and characteristics, their behavior and their treatment through time. My research and teaching focus is on the trustworthiness of records (diplomatics), the accuracy, reliability, authenticity—identityand integrity, and authentication of digital records (digital records forensics), and their appraisal, arrangement and description and long term preservation and accessibility (archival science).  The research projects that I direct are InterPARES (www.interpares.org), and Digital Records Forensics (www.digitalrecordsforensics.org).  The web page for my students is www.lucianaduranti.ca.
