This document is meant to replace the Born-Digital Dealer/Donor Questionnaire, which is now depreciated. The purpose of this document is to guide Houghton staff in the acquisition and transfer of born-digital content. The information ascertained from these questions is crucial in facilitating and ensuring that born-digital materials are transferred into Houghton's care efficiently and diligently. If this information is not gathered and sent to the Digital Archivist via email, delays in properly processing and capturing the content may result. Instructions for Use:
