Click on the Digital Materials tab on the top of the page in ArchivesSpace.
From there you can browse some of what is available online.
On the all digital objects page you can limit your search by repository or you can use the search box to narrow your results.
Digital objects often do not have the same amount of description as their counterparts in the finding aid (archival objects). Some legacy digital objects may also not have links. See the Digital objects in ArchivesSpace section for how you can find the linked archival object for more information and after that, see the archival objects with digital material section, if you're looking for how to request the material from digital objects without links.
Digital objects (also known as digital records) are pages within ArchivesSpace that describe online archival material. These records often just contain a title and a link.
Digital objects are connected to archival objects in the finding aid. Archival objects contain more description about the actual item. Digital object records look similar to archival object records and both contain a red box with a link to the material online.
If you want to find the Archival Object connected to the digital object, go down on the digital object page and expand the Linked Records section.
Click on the text in bold to get to the counterpart Archival Object.
There may be other links separated by pipes ( | ) that go to higher level parts of the finding aid (subseries, series, collection, etc.).
Archival objects are what you interact with in the finding aid. If an archival object has an attached digital object, the link to the file will be available from the archival object description. To view the online version of the file, click on the red box with an icon inside it.
If an archival object does not contain a direct link, it does not mean that a digital file doesn't exist. Not every archival object that is digital or digitized will have a link online. In this case contact the repository for access these materials
Please contact Special Collections or the Avery Research Center for African American History and Culture for help finding collection material and to make appointments to access material.
