What are the Digital Collections?

The Border Heritage Center's (BHC) Digital Collections are an extension of BHC's physical holdings. Included are rare, unique, and significant materials relating to the history and culture of the city of El Paso and the surrounding Southwest region. We hope a greater understanding and appreciation of our community's history emerges with the ability to remotely discover and use primary resources first hand!  

BHC's Digital Collections site is a work-in-progress as we continue to digitize and catalog collections for inclusion. We encourage you to revisit the site and check out what's new!

Note: New search terms will be added to catagories as new materials and collections are added to the website.

The Border Heritage Center's Digital Collections site is a new endeavor we're thrilled to share with all of you, but as with most anything new, there may be a few kinks to work out. We'd love to hear your thoughts about the site. What are its positives? Do you have suggestions for improvements? What kind of materials and/or content would you like seen on the site in the future? Can you help identify or provide additional information on images on the site? If so, please contact us at LibBorder@elpasotexas.gov.
