Authenticity of digital material is an enduring concern. However, while most people intuitively understand what authenticity is, few are able to identify exactly what is required to ensure, assess, and guarantee it. Heuristic and hermeneutic assessments of authenticity do not support any quantifiable measures of authenticity. Several important research projects have studied the means of ensuring that authenticity is protected throughout the life cycle of digital material, however, even as archival research and scholarship continue to offer insight into the nature of authentic digital objects and their preservation, new technologies, specifically distributed networked systems connected through the Internet, create new challenges to security and authenticity. This article reports on the author’s research into the practices of records and information professionals to ensure, assess, and/or protect the authenticity of digital records and data. L’authenticité des matériaux numériques est une préoccupation qui dure. Mais alors que la plupart des gens comprennent intuitivement ce qu’est l’authenticité, peu sont en mesure d’identifier exactement ce qui est nécessaire pour assurer, évaluer et garantir l’authenticité. Lesévaluations heuristiques et herméneutiques de l’authenticité n’appuient pas les mesures quantifiables de l’authenticité. Plusieurs projets de recherche importants ontétudié les moyens d’assurer que l’authenticité est protégée tout au long du cycle de vie du matériau numérique, cependant, tandis que la recherche d’archives et l’érudition continuent d’offrir une réflexion sur la nature des objets numériques authentiques et leur conservation, les nouvelles technologies, en particulier les systèmes distribués en réseau reliés par Internet, créent de nouveaux défis pour la sécurité et l’authenticité. Cet article rend compte de la recherche de l’auteur sur les pratiques documentaires des professionnels de l’information visantà assurer,évaluer, et/ou protéger l’authenticité des documents numériques et des données.
