Access and Integrity in the Digital Age: Archives, AI, and Authenticity

The International Council on Archives (ICA) is pleased to invite all members and the wider archival community to a special webinar taking place on Thursday, 12 June 2025 at 12:00–13:00 CET (Paris time) during International Archives Week 2025 titled:

Access and Integrity in the Digital Age: Archives, AI, and Authenticity

This online event is part of International Archives Week 2025—now in its seventh edition—which explores the global theme #ArchivesAreAccessible – Archives for Everyone. Selected by over 300 participants in a global poll, this theme invites archivists and institutions to go beyond digitisation and address the physical, technological, and systemic barriers that continue to limit access to archives for many communities.

In this 60-minute webinar, representatives from three of the ICA’s partners will explore the evolving relationship between archives, artificial intelligence, and digital preservation. They will focus on how authenticity and trust are maintained in an era of rapid technological change.
