What happens when the analog becomes digital? Archives collect primary
source materials of enduring value to society, like personal papers and
organizational records. These records become accessible to anybody who
visits the archives and requests access to the collections. Before the
internet, accessing these collections required a researcher to travel to
the archives, request materials from the collection, examine the papers
within the physical confines of the archive, make copies or transcribe
information from the documents, and then synthesize the findings at home.

myself.” M. Hashimoto
