IANEC: Digital Forensic Investigation of Contemporary Writers' Archives

The IANEC project (Investigation of Digital Archives of Contemporary Writers), led by the GREYC Research Lab and funded by the French Ministry of Culture aims to develop dedicated digital forensic investigation tools to automate the analysis of archival corpora from the Institut M{é}moires de l'{É}dition Contemporaine (IMEC). The project is based on the observation that born-digital archival materials are increasingly prevalent in contemporary archival institutions, and that digital forensics technologies have become essential for the extraction, identification, processing, and description of natively digital archival corpora.*
