About Digital Collections

The UC San Diego Library Digital Collections website is a public search and discovery interface that currently features over 150,000 digital objects, including documents, photographs, audio, video, and data sets, which reflect a range of materials collected, managed, and preserved by the Library to support teaching, learning and research.

The Library also partners with UC San Diego researchers and affiliates to make research data more readily available. The Digital Collections website gathers data into two broad categories of content:
