Description
Summary:This article focuses on the Catholic University Archives to discuss the problems and opportunities raised by the digital revolution today. It recounts the history of the Archives of Catholic University, the gathering of its collections and the trends in its facilities and staff as well as its current efforts to meet the challenge of the digital revolution.

It argues for consideration of collaborative efforts among archives in American Catholic history to meet that challenge.
