Luciana Duranti is a Professor in the Master of Archival Studies Program
(MAS) at the School of Library, Archival and Information Studies of the
University of British Columbia, Canada, where she has taught since 1987 and
has occupied the position of Associate Dean Research for the Faculty of
Arts from 1997 to the beginning of this year. Prior to moving to Canada to
teach at UBC, she was a Researcher-Professor in the Special School for
Archivists and Librarians at the University of Rome, Italy (1982-87);
served as State Archivist in the State Archives of Rome (1978-82); and was
Project Archivist for the Italian National Research Council (1974-77).
Professor Duranti holds a Doctorate in Arts (1973) and graduate degrees in
Archival Science from the University of Rome (1975), and in Archivistics,
Paleography, and Diplomatics from the School of Archivistics, Paleography
and Diplomatics of the State Archives of Rome (1979). In addition to her
university responsibilities, she has been the President of the Society of
American Archivists for the year 1998-99, and is active nationally and

numerous papers and workshops in several countries, and publishes widely on
archival history and theory, and on diplomatics. In recognition of her
contributions, she has received the Canadian Universities Faculty
Associations (CUFA) of British Columbias 1999 Academic of the Year Award.
Duranti's research has primarily aimed at testing the validity of
traditional concepts, principles, and methods for acquiring and maintaining
control of electronic records. It has also aimed at finding solutions to
electronic records issues that are not specific to a given socio-cultural
and juridical context but can be universally applied. She is presently
Project-Director of InterPARES, a large multinational, collaborative and
interdisciplinary research project on the long-term preservation of
authentic electronic records funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities
Research Council of Canada and by numerous other granting agencies and
institutions worldwide.
