Digital Archives: Civil Rights Movements in the United States

---

Abstract

One of the most significant themes in American history is the struggle many groups face to receive equal treatment under US law. It should not come as a surprise then that archives, libraries, and other institutions make a concerted effort to collect and preserve materials documenting these civil rights movements in America. There is also a growing trend among institutions to make their collections more accessible to the public through digitization. Digitized materials allow researchers to gain access to primary sources from the convenience of their own computers.
