Analog materials
Analog research materials include photographs, handwritten notes, books, audio cassettes, paintings or 3D objects, such as fossils or architectural models. In order to make them usable in a repository, the materials must first be digitized or at least the associated metadata must be provided in a digital form. Analog materials differ from “born digital” data, which exist in digital form from the beginning, for example digital photos, CAD drawings, measurement data or blogs.
