Research libraries and museums have been digitizing their collections for years, but Robbins’ offerings were scant. Now, that’s changing: For more than a year, the center has taken on the arduous and painstaking task of creating research-quality electronic replicas of some of its holdings, including more than 350 manuscripts.
