This paper will present the preliminary findings of InterPARES 2, an international multi-disciplinary research project that aims to develop theory and methods, strategies and standards for the permanent preservation of the authentic digital records resulting from artistic, scientific and e-government activities regardless on the face of media fragility and technological obsolescence.
