The Center on Contemporary Art (CoCA) Digital Archive was created with the goal of cataloging and digitizing slides, posters, audiotapes, videos, photographs and ephemera collected over the past 35 years. We helped CoCA move closer towards that goal by digitizing selected photographic slides and newsletters, cataloging individual items, and posting them onto the CoCA website. We successfully added 9 exhibits from 1990-2002, digitizing and cataloging almost 100 slides, along with several CoCA newsletters (1983-1990). As a result, these exhibits will be accessible to the public, and will hopefully stir more interest to continue digitizing other materials collected by CoCA.
