Day 2, Session 8 Harrison W. Inefuku (University of British Columbia, Vancouver)   This presentation discusses research being conducted at the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery as part of the InterPARES 3 Project, which is developing a documentation framework to support the preservation of digital and new media art. The framework includes the use of a questionnaire for artists; a checklist of records that should be created and/or acquired by the Gallery; a file structure that allows the Gallery to maintain its documents and records according to records and archival management best practices; and an analysis of copyright and moral rights issues.

Originally from Honolulu (Hawaii), Harrison W. Inefuku is currently enrolled in the Dual Master of Archival Studies/Master of Library and Information Studies Program at the University of British Columbia where he serves as a graduate research assistant with the InterPARES (International Research on Permanent Authentic Records in Electronic Systems) 3 Project. Prior to UBC, he received degrees in Graphic Design and Visual Culture from the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California.
