Digital objects are used to link born-digital or digitized content of archival collections. The data is collected from an archival management or archival preservation system. The data can be used to assess the extent of digitized content of archival collections. Digital Collections can also be accessed at https://a860-collectionguides.nyc.gov/.

Resources represent descriptions of collections and detail the Creators, dates, historical/biographical description, extent and formats available (boxes, folders, photographs, maps, volumes, digital objects, etc.). The data represents collections described at the collection level for improved accessibility.

The data can be used to research and/or request collections available at the Municipal Archives. They can also be accessed at https://a860-collectionguides.nyc.gov/
