It is important to underline, however, that digital archives are still archives containing documents or other material, albeit in a digital form, that needs to be organized, described, arranged, stored, safeguarded, and accessible to users. Therefore, in many ways, digital archives are just like any physical archive, requiring the application of the same basic archival rules, techniques, and actions. In this sense, there is a significant overlap between the Guiding Principles, methods, and work needed to create both a physical and a digital archive.
