These sites can be accessed from the Western History Center’s main page and as detailed in the steps in this guide. What is a Digital Repository? Digital repositories contain digital collection materials of various file types and make them accessible for viewing online. Digital collections and materials may or may not have physical counterparts or copies in the on-site repository, but they will often contain the same descriptions and contextual arrangement.
