Translations:Value of Digital Archiving for Civil Society Organizations/28/en

An equally significant advantage of digital archiving—particularly for CSOs working with archival material on human rights violations—is the immense improvements it brings to the potential for external access, outreach, and use in education, as well as its leverage in various transitional justice processes. Digital archives containing nonsensitive public material can be made easily accessible online to anyone, anywhere in the world—not just mere access to the material, but also the quality of that access is substantially advanced, as digital archives enable meaningful search of content using various criteria; review and analysis of selected groups of items; simultaneous access and use of material by multiple users; and copying of individual files by external users.
