Abstract

Seven Stories, the Centre for Children’s Books, is at the forefront of exploring born-digital material in the North East of England. The Centre has met many challenges on its quest to acquire, preserve and provide access to born-digital material. This article describes these challenges and how Seven Stories has approached them, and how the Centre is using born-digital material at present.
