The "Born Digital" Collection

The "Born Digital" Collection consists of digital-only materials created and stored electronically from the start, such as emails, digital photographs, websites, and electronic documents. Unlike traditional physical items, these materials were never made into physical form. They represent the early stages of our digital life and culture, capturing moments, communication, and work that exist solely in digital formats. Archiving this collection helps preserve digital history, making it accessible for future research and understanding of our evolving digital environment.
