Why Digitize the Past? Benefits The aura of excitement that surrounds the new has created an implicit bias that favors digitization over a more conservative maintenance of physical historical artifacts. The global implication of remote access to images and archives that digitization makes possible online to a global audience has dramatically broadened the number of people who can research the past at will. This exciting prospect of universal, democratic access to our cultural heritage should always be encouraged.
