On the other hand, the digital world has meant an important opportunity for preserving and disseminating document information. To speak of digital archives is to speak of documents in a format and support that implies technological challenges and opportunities for copying, dissemination and analysis of information. Digital documents can be digital natives, created in a digital format (text, image, audio) support (external hard disk, external hard disk, USB, DVD, etc.). Thus, when we talk about digital archives, we are talking about a part of the archive or document collection that is in these formats and supports.

The organization has an archive or document collection that contains both digital and analog documents. Therefore, there is not a digital archive and an analog Archive, and it is the same fund.

Reference to digital archives should not divert our gaze from the complete archive. Each organization has a documentary collection that constitutes a unit. One of the main bases for working with archives is preserving integrity. The archival exercise is a way of understanding the information from its production context.
