Perhaps the most interesting article in this part of this book is the editor who chose James Sparro's "Online: September 11 Digital Archive" in the final article. They do this because perhaps this article applies to all previous articles. Sparo pointed out that all public institutions are seeking ways to survive and adapt. He used the digital archive of September 11 as a case study and believes that accepting the digital world is a key to the future and cited several of the main advantages of doing so . First of all, although a part of history is lost on the vast internet, there are still a lot of ignorable parts and history. Secondly, the Internet can take more visitors to the organization than ever before. Despite the virtual nature of these new visitors, these institutions can benefit from this exposure.
