Rice University has a well-developed digital scholarship archive and this particular area of the site "strives to represent the full range and complexity of the Americas history by bringing together key documents." The Americas Digital Archive project is under the direction of two scholars at the university, and they have worked with colleagues to digitize over 1,000 documents. Visitors to the site will note that there are visual materials, translated documents, and a set of scholarly papers and presentations. The collection contains many materials related to the American Southwest and its borderlands area. Sample documents include reports on the United States and Mexican boundary survey from 1859 and translated documents from administrators in northern Mexico. Also, visitors are encouraged to browse the collection by date, author, title, or subject.
