Metaphors for Understanding Born Digital Collection Access: Part I
Posted by: Eileen J. Manchester
The following is a guest post by Senior Archivist Kathleen O'Neill. Kathleen and her colleague Chad Conrady are currently working on a project called Born Digital Access Now! as the 2020 Staff Innovators in LC Labs. Their first blog post introduces the project, which aims to provide greater access to born digital materials held in the Manuscript Division, in greater detail. Today's post is the first in a series of three blog posts in which Kathleen will discuss different challenges or barriers to born digital collection access through the lens of three different metaphors. Up first is: "Media Format, or, Have Fun Storming the Castle!"
