Luciana Duranti
I am a graduate of Sapienza University of Rome, Italy and, currently, a Professor of archival theory, diplomatics, and digital records in the master’s and doctoral archival programs of the School of Information of the University of British Columbia (UBC), in Vancouver, Canada, and Affiliate Professor at the University of Washington at Seattle, United States. I started my career as State Archivist in the State Archives of Rome, in 1978. In 1982, I became a Full Time Scholar of Archival Science at the Sapienza University of Rome. I moved to UBC in 1987 to teach in the newly minted Master of Archival Studies. I am the Director of the UBC Centre for the International Study of Contemporary Records and Archives, and the Principal Investigator of the InterPARES research project, which, since 1998, has developed theory and methods for the creation, maintenance and preservation of trustworthy digital records across technologies. I have published extensively on archival and diplomatics theory and on the use of their concepts for understanding the products of new and emerging technologies. I have been the President of the Society of American Archivists and the Association of Canadian Archivists. Since 2015, I am the Chair of the Canadian Government Standards Board committee for Electronic Records as Documentary Evidence.
