content: Subseries 1 includes digital files of scans of the 35mm color slides done by Borgatti. These files contain images that are digital copies of slides within the collection. Most of the files have corresponding image numbers in regards to the numbers originally provided to the images by Borgatti. The digital files also contain scans from Borgatti's field notebooks. No hard copies of the field notebook scans were provided in the collection; there are digital versions only. Additionally, there are black and white images from 1971-1974 and 1979 that are copies of the color slides. 

Subseries 2 includes born-digital files from the period when Borgatti was transitioning to digital photography in 2002-2003 and up until 2015 in Nigeria. Some of the earlier files overlap with Series 1, Subseries 6 (35mm color slides) because of the transition period between formats. In addition to images, there are also born-digital video clips within these files. The spreadsheets provided by Borgatti only cover a small portion of the born-digital files. Locations depicted include: Afokpella, Agenebode, Auchi, Uniben, Benin City, Warri, Azukhala, Agbharotor, Iddo, Ikao, Ogiriga, Lagos, Abuja, Nsukka, Oshogbo, Ilesha, Otuo, Ogute, Imiagbese, Ithurogbe, Imiekuri, Awuyemi, Okhu, Shrewsbury, Weppa, Orhobo, Zaria, and Jos in Nigeria, and DC and Minneapolis.
