“…That the paintings were imperfect did not matter, because determinations of the authenticity of a painting are based on its provenance. An artistic provenance consists of records detailing previous transactions of the object in question, such as invoices, correspondence and auction catalogues: 57 Exhibition catalogs help document the custodial history of the work, and receipts of sale show where and when it passed through private hands. Diaries, correspondence, and early drawings also shed light on the works themselves.…”

“…Drewe therefore forged records and inserted them into major English art archives, like the Tate Gallery and the Victoria and Albert Museum, thus authenticating the forged paintings. 59 He made sure that the forged documents were as realistic as possible by using contemporary paper and ink.

Julia Kastenhofer completed her undergraduate studies in History at the University of Vienna (Austria). She holds master's degrees in Archives and Records Management from University College London (UK) and in Global History from the University of Vienna. Her work experience in Archives and Records Management includes positions at the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna (Austria) and the Historical Archives of the European Union in Florence (Italy). At the time the research in this paper was conducted, she was affiliated with University College London, Department of Information Studies. She currently works as an Information Manager at the Inter-American Development Bank in Washington, DC (USA).According to ISO 15489, the international standard on records management, the four main characteristics of authoritative records are reliability, integrity, usability and authenticity. In this article, the traits of an ideal record as specified by ISO 15489 are discussed by looking at the opposite of an authentic recorda forgery. By examining the varieties of forgeries found in archives, ranging from forgeries of details to forgeries of entire documents both by record creators and users, the argument is put forth that the difference between an authentic and reliable record and a forgery is not at all obvious. Since forgeries are a regrettable evil of an archive, instead of trying to fix authenticity, more thought should be spared on users' and archivists' attitudes towards forgeries and how inauthentic records should be handled in an archive.
