Series 16. Born Digital & Hardware (partially open)

Conditions Governing Access

Digital materials stored on 5.25" floppy disks have been processed and are open for research. The materials are available through SearchWorks at the collection record: https://searchworks.stanford.edu/view/13312451. Materials containing financial information, contact information of third parties, or copyright held by other parties have been restricted; these materials can be accessed at full resolution by visiting the Field Reading Room.

The full text version of the email contained in this collection is available in the Field Reading Room; a redacted version, displaying correspondents and extracted entities (personal and corporate names and locations) from Barlow's email have been published in Stanford's online discovery module: http://epadd.stanford.edu/epadd/collections. 452 messages have been entirely restricted from both the discovery module and the full text version available in the reading room according to federal and state guidelines, and Stanford Libraries policy, for up to 80 years. These messages may contain financial, medical, legal, and other sensitive information. They will be made available in 2089. Additionally, due to the potentially sensitive nature of their content, 217 messages are available only in the full-text version of the collection that is accessible in the Field Reading Room at Green Library and have been restricted from the redacted version that is available on in the discovery module.

The remaining digital portion of the collection is closed until processing is complete. Born-digital material is not available in original format, and must be reformatted to a digital use copy.
