<p class="MsoNormal">Imagine the researcher! The user interface is going to tell them the archival object has a digital presence. They will go through the digital object thinking they have the whole thing, in ignorance that they have seen only part. Or, they
will realize it is a partial digitization, and be disappointed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Yes, there is a cost to doing this. There is also a cost to NOT doing this. In the future, how will you find things only digitized in part, if you don’t describe the digitized part? How will you manage digital content, if you don’t know
what it is?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There had to be a selection made to digitize the part, so someone had to tell someone else what parts were to be digitized. Is there any way that you can turn the recording of that selection into a description task? Even if it is only
to make a child that duplicates parent and add “[digitized portion]” at the end of the title.<o:p></o:p></p>

of their parent folder <i>without</i> having to create an individual item level archival object for each digital one. It feels redundant and unnecessary since the digital object is capable of capturing the same exact information. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
