A digital archivist works to preserve historical documents and materials or to organize and store digital materials for future use. Your duties vary depending on the purpose of your work. Some digital archivists work on digitizing materials like documents or photographs so that researchers can access them easily. Your responsibilities in this role involve converting materials into digital files. Other digital archivists work with videos, photos, and data that is already in digital form. In these cases, you record the media and file it according to a topic, keyword, and other identifying information. Digital archivists often have a degree in library science.
