Abstract

Although trust in records has been an area of concern in archival science research for quite some time (e.g., Duranti1 and MacNeil2), the digital environment raises new questions about trust in digital documents and records. In particular, research on users’ perceptions of trust for digital archival content has begun to emerge, raising new questions about what trust means and how users interpret the concept, as well as what influences users’ perceptions of trust in digital archival content, broadly defined. This article presents the Trust in Archives–Trust in Digital Archival Content (TIA–TDAC) Framework, a conceptual model for understanding how users’ trust in archives influences their trust in digital archival content. The framework is based on research on trust in digital archival content from the perspective of an archives’ user.
